"Wipe them out. All of them." -- RIAA, instructing it's members on MP3s.
RIAA is doing it's usual chasing-genies-after-they've-been-let-out routine. When will they learn?
Look, you can bicker about piracy and the rights of artists all you like, but the fact is, the RIAA still keeps acting way out of line: Repeatedly, legitimate MP3s are pulled because the RIAA applied pressure to the artists who chose to release their own music in that format, instead of via traditional, retailer-friendly, RIAA-approved methods.
Note that, since I don't work at LucasFilm, I have no idea whether the Duel of the Fates MP3 is legitimate or not (although, if it's getting airtime across the country, an equivilently-low-quality recording doing the rounds should be a reasonable thing to release), but this does not affect the repeated bad behaviour of the RIAA.

Now that would be an impressive signing...
