In June 2005, the News Corporation came to knock on the door. Murdoch bid 580,000,000 U.S. dollars to buy MySpace's parent company. Anderson and DeWolfe were in a dilemma. At this point, the parent company of MySpace has been renamed Intermix Media, needed capital to maintain the website of vigorous growth, but they do not want this "anti-authority" site to be authoritative ruled.

They yielded at the end. Although they were very resistant to other companies to buy, but Murdoch ensured them that he will not interfere with the operation of the site.

It was very different from Santa Monica even including having a lunch. However, DeWolfe does not hate here, because it let them realise the reality: they no longer have the site.

Anderson said more clearly: "I can do anything before, but now I need to seek consent from more people, the budget, procedure, I, of course, feel suffering, but it is not an obstacle." However, having the backing of Rupert Murdoch, MySpace now has more surprising programs. In addition to set up the sites in the United Kingdom, Australia, France they also plan the sites in nine European and Asian countries.

But Dewolfe replied ‘’As long as every morning we are still happy to go to the company to maintain a certain degree of autonomy, to lead the website to the direction of ... ... "He paused:" As long as we have fun in work."
