Nor are they 'public'.  The tapes were intended originally for a very
specific audience -- record company execs.  Are you one?  If not, then
Kate has not granted you permission to even *listen* to these tapes,
let alone own bootleg copies of them.  Do the artist's wishes mean
absolutely *nothing* to you people?

So are all the defenses of IED's piracy campaign that I've heard so far.
You folks just hate to even *consider* the possibility that what you're
doing is flat-out morally *wrong*, don't you?
