A clash between MySpace and photo-sharing site Photobucket, which went on for around two-weeks has finally been amicably resolved.

A dispute between the two sites blew up earlier this month when News Corp.-owned MySpace chose to block Photobucket’s content from its members’ profiles. According to MySpace, Photobucket had breached MySpace’s terms of service by inducing users to post a Spider-Man 3 slide-show ad campaign. MySpace prohibits third parties from advertising on its site.

In a posting by Photobucket CEO and co-founder Alex Welch on Tuesday, Welch announced that Photobucket would now be allowed to post content on MySpace user pages.

“We’ve established open lines of communication and procedures with MySpace to prevent a sudden block of Photobucket content in future,” Welch said in his post.

“Both our companies are committed to putting our users first,” Welch wrote.

“Moving forward, we’ve established open lines of communication and procedures with MySpace to prevent a sudden block of Photobucket content in the future. We want our users to be able to share their content and understand it must be within the framework of MySpace’s Terms of Service for it to appear on the site.”

MySpace had previously blocked the Photobucket content, which included a Spider-Man 3 trailer, because of bans on third-party ads.
