Its been stated in various articles and interviews that mp3.com use an
automatic software based check of all files uploaded, to make sure they are not
blank etc. Clearly they cannot manually check every file uploaded. So some
extreme types of music do not pass the tests which by their very nature have to
be "aggressive". Mp3.com is not a god given right, it is a fantastic FREE
service for a wide but mainstream audience.

Dont just be reactive for the sake of it, start your own site and get over it.
