Lock those electronic doors
U2-INTERNET
LONDON (AP) - The Irish rock band U2 may have become the world's first music
group to be burglarized on the Internet, according to reports. Two songs
lifted from the band's yet-to-be released album have been removed from
computers at U2's Dublin studio and distributed on the Internet, according
to the Sunday Times of London. Island Records, which manages the
multi-million selling artists, says the appearance of the songs represents
copyright infringement. Island is reportedly trying to close down the
Internet sites on which the songs, "Discotheque" and "Wake Up Dead Man,"
appear. [Dave Farber <farber@cis.upenn.edu> via risks-digest Volume 18, Issue 62]
