It;s getting to the stage where you go to ZeroPaid for news and TorrentFreak for opinion nowadays. It is up to a label how they distribute what is legally considered their property. This is just a cheap publicity stunt to promote themselves How very true:

The last CD I bought was for 25c from a garage sale. Honestly, thats about the value I apply to that media now. 1970's prices are where its at. The problem is, the mass-buying market for music aren't interested in the superior sound quality found with records, which are, unfortunately, more of a hassle to play than CDs. I don't think enough would sell. ‘Im not pro-RIAA and of course I download music. But I always thought that now would be the best time to re-introduce records and tapes to fight piracy.
