Ah. Now I see why there was some confusion regarding this story. The version that Aaron references above was written by someone who seems to be as out of touch with DJ mixtape culture as the arresting officers. For a slightly better write-up by a journo who knows his shit when it comes to hip-hop/etc., check out http://www.canoe.ca/JamMusic/oct6_tapes.html Perhaps the Star reporter was getting things confused with this story about *real* music piracy - http://www.canoe.ca/JamMusic/oct5_fines.html Greg
