MySpace vs. Photobucket

Forbes writer Rachel Rosmarin has an interesting analysis of the legal/technical showdown between MySpace and Photobucket, a match that Rosmarin contends Photobucket won rather handily. Specifics of the tussle aside, it shows Photobucket as a sterling example of how Internet entities can begin life lashed to a mother ship such as MySpace, become successful, and then set sail on their own.
