Nope.  It was an official release, so copying and selling it would be 
defined as piracy.  Bootlegging and distributing it on a large scale would 
be questionable, too.  After all, what if Pete decides to offer it now for 
pay download from Eelpie?  Wouldn't want to steal his money!

I'll look around for the article where he told the story.  As I recall, he 
goes into some detail about how he "writes" music, and what can inspire it.

What songs?  All of them, or just the main structure?

The fact of the finished song.  The question is whether he writes the 
lyrics/music down before or after it's done.

Only since the invention of the calendar and the clock.  We measure it in 
our culture, so we've got a one way, vector quantity.  Other cultures don't 
do that.  Meher Baba's coming back, you know.  ;)

Hey, the earth turns.  Every year it comes back to about the same place and 
starts over again.  True, it runs down a little on every trip, but not 
enough that we'll ever notice.

Until he goes to work for Pete, that is.  Watch out, Brian!  ;)
