I have no idea how you would do this, but if you can treat your MySpace links as a marketing opportunity, go for it.
The problem here, at least what I'm talking about, is it's just an IMAGE with NO LINK BACK to your site. You not only receive no credit for the image, no link back therefore no traffic TO your site from the MySpace parasite page, but they are also taking your bandwidth.

I even told MySpace.com that their users COULD USE some of my images, save them to their OWN HD's & upload them somewhere ELSE, as long as they put a link back to my site saying from where they got the image! Yet, they also ignored that. They already have several Lawsuits against them regarding child porn/predators, someone must "police" that place and hold them accountable for what they have been doing.
