Title:
  My Music scope attempts todownload artist biography, but biography is
  always empty.

Status in Canonical System Image:
  Fix Committed
Status in unity-scope-mediascanner package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  The My Music scope tries to download artist biography from
  dash.ubuntu.com when displaying the artist overview page.  It in turn
  tries to retrieve the biography via the 7digital API.

  However, the 7digital API always returns an empty string because they
  don't have a license to provide the biographies shown in their own web
  store:

  While dash.ubuntu.com could be modified to retrieve biographies
  elsewhere, at the moment the scope is just wasting time and bandwidth
  by asking for the data.  So in the short term we are better off
  disabling the biography download code.
