LittleBigPlanet developer Media Molecule has removed levels featuring copyrighted material. Levels with "unsuitable content"(Penis levels) are also being deleted.

From GamesIndustry.biz:

Levels featuring content from games and other media including Metal Gear Solid, The Legend of Zelda, Batman and Scrubs have all been removed from the servers – with users complaining that they have spent hours creating content and have no back-up of their work.

Sony has said it hopes to inform users how they can tweak their creations to make them suitable, rather than be forced to delete the entire level.

"We want to ensure that creators' levels are only permanently removed if they warrant it. In most innocent cases a simple tweak to the level may be required and that's what we're working on communicating," said Sony.

That freaking blows. The Batman level was one of the best levels out there.

Can you just trade levels with friends rather than save them on Sony servers?
