[No Rock&Roll Fun] We only ask because, if it's worth suing dead people and twelve year-olds over, wouldn't you expect to see panic, fear and a sense of meltdown if something like, say, the Rolling Stones new album leaked online?

Reasons cited are music users' increased consciousness about copyrights and maintenance of legality (conformity to the CD-audio format specification).
