Musicians can promote their work through Facebook's Musician Pages. But before allowing them to upload music files, Facebook requires administrators to submit scans of their driver's licenses, to keep on file in case claims of copyright infringement come up. Last night, one of these administrators, an employee at Ping Pong Music, discovered Facebook had posted his license publicly on EMI artist This World Fair's page. He took a screenshot, which we've included below.
The whole idea behind free Facebook Pages for musicians, business and brands is to get them in the door, get them hooked, and get them to pay for ads to promote their page. Don't expect Ping Pong Music to open their wallet anytime soon now. "It just upsets me a little to think they could let this happen," our source tells us.

The first one has four of the same pic. Perhapse the stupid person uploaded the pics to his profile instead, trying to figure out how to do what they were asking.
@Captain Angry: There were other bands/managers that were affected by this it seems. Are you suggesting each of these "stupid" people made the same mistake? Perhapse (sic) you were one who actually did this and assume others fell in the same hole...
FadBook has a bottom-up approach to "development" that results in stunts like the above and the rest of the clunky and spotty interface.
