Intermix Media
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Intermix Media, Inc. (AMX symbol: MIX; formerly eUniverse) was a Los Angeles-based Internet marketing company which owned the MySpace website. In April 2005 New York State attorney-general Eliot Spitzer filed a lawsuit that alleged that the company is the source of secretly installed spyware that has illegally sent pop-up advertisements and other intrusions to millions of computer users.
Intermix Media was purchased in 2005 by Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation (the parent company of Fox Broadcasting and other media enterprises) for US$580 million. All Intermix web sites, along with web sites from all Fox divisions, will become part of News Corp.'s newly formed Fox Interactive Media.
In 2006, Demand Media, a company run by Richard Rosenblatt, former CEO of Intermix Media and chairman of MySpace, purchased back all of the non-MySpace assets Intermix had sold to NewsCorp (source).
