One of the only stories on piracy where the artist called the cops.  More of that, please!

A guitarist from Cape Breton was shocked this week to discover his music was being sold online without his knowledge or consent. Maxim Cormier of Chéticamp said a local radio station was offering track-by-track digital downloads of his songs for a fee. “I had never given permission to them to do that,” said Cormier. “And I had certainly never received any payments for any of the sales.” When Cormier found out, he called the police.
