Re: Myspace contact needed

[TProphet <tprophet () tprophet org>]

I use a VPN from Beijing, where I reside. It's pretty common for myspace 
to blacklist any IP addresses that they believe belong to crawlers, 
linkbots, VPN services, etc. This appears to be an automated process. 
I've never had luck getting any of my VPN IPs unblocked.

Good luck getting in touch with anyone there, the company was just sold 
to a consortium of celebrities after massive News Corp. layoffs and it's 
left with walking zombies. I'd be surprised if anyone competent is still 
left...
