Two guys who dig Ryan Adams' music posted some unreleased tracks on a fan-site. Yesterday, feds busted them for this action as a crime separate from that of uploading already-released music for online sharing. Snip from THR report, via Reuters:
Robert Thomas of Milwaukee and Jared Bowser of Jacksonville, Fla., were indicted under a provision of the Family Entertainment and Copyright Act (FECA) law that makes it a separate federal crime to pirate music and movies before they are released to the public, Memphis-based U.S. attorney Jim Vines and FBI special agent My Harrison said.
