Wired News: MySpace Kills Internet Tube Song

Wired News: "After hearing Sen. Ted Stevens' now infamous description of the internet as a 'series of tubes,' Andrew Raff sang the senator's words over a folksy ditty and anonymously posted it to MySpace.com, where about 2,500 people listened to the tune, thanks to a link from one of the net's top blogs.
On Tuesday, MySpace canceled the TedStevensFanClub account, telling Raff that the social-networking site, now owned by media mogul Rupert Murdoch's News Corp., had received a 'credible complaint of your violation of the MySpace Terms of Services.'
The e-mail referenced a number of prohibited activities, including trademark and copyright violations. MySpace also reserves the right to remove any profile for any reason."
