If they discover that the piece wasn't out of copyright in the first
place then they can e-mail me and I'll remove the piece (obviously I'll
check as best I can that all pieces uploaded are out of copyright).
Otherwise the piece has been placed in the public domain so they can't
remove it - why should they want to?

Yes - the responsibility lies with the "maintainer" of the piece, which
is defined in the header of the .ly file. With Mutopia initially only
accepting out-of-copyright works, the only reason for a new version
would be to correct mistakes or introduce new features of Lilypond that
may have appeared.
