"Security through obscurity" is a highly dubious model to employ. You're breaking copyright law by simply putting a copyrighted work into a public folder, regardless of whether or not anyone downloads it. DB would seem to be entirely justified in taking this action. Is there nothing in their TOS which prohibits public sharing of copyrighted material?
Given the issues with MegaUpload, etc, it's hardly surprising that they're being vigilant in their monitoring of the use to which their public folders are being put.
