What this likely does is simply play into the hands of the pirates and
bootleggers.  I wouldn't be surprised if these crop up on eBay before
long, suitably renamed to disguise their origin.  Either that, or
someone will be giving them away for free, in butchered MPEG audio form,
over Napster or Gnutella as a "protest" at the high price...

Oh, well.

Cheers,
