Bebo protects my copyright from me

Got this email today from Bebo and it looks like every song except for Borderline has been removed from my Bebo music page:

from: Bebo Service service@noreply.bebo.com
to: brad@bradsucks.net
date: May 22, 2007 2:48 AM
subject: Bebo Bands: Songs Removed for thebradsucks

Brad

Song content was removed for your Bebo Band, Brad Sucks.

Content was removed because it was recognized by the Bebo copyright filter to violate the Bebo Terms of Service:

<http://www.bebo.com/TermsOfUse.jsp>

As a result, the upload songs feature for this band has been disabled. If you believe that a mistake has been made, you can request that your Bebo band page be reviewed:

<http://www.bebo.com/BandReviewRequest.jsp?MemberId=1530240065>

Please don’t submit bands that you do not own the copyright to or your band may be deleted all together.

Thanks,

The Beboers

I think it’s pretty awesome that I seem to have violated my own copyright somehow. Well done! I’m sure glad my copyrights are safe!!

Look, as soon as the label (me) starts treating the artist (me) fairly, I’ll stop stealing.

You should sue yourself for breach of contract, settle for a cool million bucks, take out a loan to pay yourself off, then flee your creditors and settle somewhere where copyright infringement is not only allowed but encouraged (Sweden, maybe?)

MySpace does similarly.

Yeah, I’m getting fed up with you (label) as well! I am so sending money for the next album to you (artist) and definitely not paying you (label)!

I agree, You should sue the Label (you) and go after millions.

Which means, you should start a collection for the legal costs! I dont expect anyone would expect you to use the donations from the record sales.

FIGHT THE POWER!

Hey Brad, the same thing has happened to me. I’m not sure what to do, I would like to use Bebo for self-promotion. I tryed to query it and I received another mail saying the issue was closed. I just want to know how their “filter” came to the conclusion I am violating my own copyright.
Let me know your view on this, any help would be great.

D: I haven’t looked into it. I sort of hate everything about social networks so when they dick with me I’m pretty lazy about fixing it. Really I should be more mature though.
