Surely the BPI only have control over music released by corporations who pay them subscriptions, not anything else that may have been on that site? Certainly nothing put there by independent musicians trying to promote themselves. It's a shame we don't have anything like a class action suit in the UK, because they are definitely hurting the real music industry with this action.
