Sleep? Sleeping = dreaming, DREams Are Meant To Illuminate ME.

Hand over? Boy, I would get on a plane and go to the UK to hand it over 
to Her personally!!!! 

But now serious: I must admit that I can not but agree with your point of
view. It _is_ not very nice to duplicate someone's work (lyrics, music) if
the person concerned has expressed not to agree with this. And this can be
in the form of a personal wish or by copyrighting the material. Eventhough 
I doubt that the material is copyrighted, I respect Her wish not to distribute
her early material. But I would like to see that confirmed. So far, I have
only heard rumours. I would love to find out about Her opinion.

Second thought: The first music I had from Kate was a copy on tape from
Lionheart. Needless to say that it was ILLEGAL, PIRATED etc. But this tape
made me decide I wanted the real (LEGAL) copy. I have bought *ALL* her
albums in a similar way: first I 'obtained' an illegal copy on tape,
listened to it, fell in love with it and _then_ bought it.
