Sharing is a good thing - except when it's music, it seems.
Bill Thompson wants to lend you an MP3 or two. Her concern is real, since she wants to get a number one single and MP3 trades don't yet get counted for the Radio 1 chart. I had a quick look for the offending music file, but failed to come up with anything, so it doesn't seem to be all over the Web. However all is not lost. A front-page article in a tabloid newspaper is a useful way of generating publicity for an album that can hardly be described as 'keenly awaited,' and it even seems that rather than being stolen from the studio, the track was 'accidentally' posted on their own website by her producers.
