Area Tune "Arbeit Macht Frei"

Today, 27th of January 2005 is the 60th aniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz concentration camp, in which 1.500.000 people were murdered by the Nazi regime.

Bye chance (SAM) or by request (hopefully then accidentially) the Area tune "Arbeit macht frei" was played on the moon. As you may know, these words (meaning "work makes you free") stood over the entrance of that concentration camp and is, at least here in Europe, a synonym for the nazi genozide during the 3rd Reich.

Allthough I do not believe that Area is a Fascism supporter at all, I think this tune should be removed from the playlist, or at least renamed, in order not to be connected to this undescribable crime happend during WW2, because when it is played, associations to it are always made (at leasrt by us here)
