He should sue them if he thinks he has a legit bandwidth theft case here, but I don't think he does since no attempt was ever made to block MySpace. It was the opposite. He knowingly allowed the hotlinking to continue, to increase and then slipped in the popup to get free advertising on MySpace.

This guy should be thanking his webhost for pulling the file right away. It saved him from potentially being sued by MySpace. Seriously.
