I would take a good hard look at the TOS first; Facebook recently made
changes to theirs that have a lot of people upset as regards who
"owns" information posted.  I do know however their TOS state
specifically that they may use ANYTHING you post without compensation.

I don't know or use Myspace at all so I can't speak to their terms.
