In that case, it would be wise for myspace to allow only whitelisted content providers for flash content.
If it's my file, and on my server, they have no right to tell me what to do with it. There were no illegal activities nor ill intents from his side. He can do anything he wants to the file. If myspace doesn't the fact that people use his content on their profile pages, they can blacklist his server.
He has no contracts nor agreements with myspace to leave his files intact. Same with media providers - it's their right to start popping consoles. If myspace doesn't like such practice, they should blacklist flash files altogether.
