question about American music on the download forums...

[JesA]

ive been wondering something lately....i know we aren't allowed to post any music released in the US...but does that count for download-only songs? for example, if i buy a cd at walmart that offers a free exclusive track on walmart.com (usually store-only-bonus-track or live version etc), could i upload it? it wouldnt be physically released, so shouldnt it be ok? also, what if there is a song like an iTunes exclusive or something? i noticed that Corinne Bailey Rae has some download-only tracks that i cant find...i was wondering if i could request them.

thanks!

That's actually a pretty good question since you could argue it either way. So I guess we'll have to wait and see what the staff will say.

Please don't post or request things like this.
