Given that there is a URL, I'm assuming this isn't a fake story, but of 
course it may well be.  But if it's real, I wonder where the songs are 
going to come from?  I wonder where RIAA and ARIA will take aim next?  [pun 
intended]  But they might want to be careful serving any warrants because 
they may not know who has the MP3 version and who has the original type.....
