Now, as you know, we are the kings of ethics here at CMU and would never let presents and free gifts affect our editorial judgement. In fact, Eliot Spitzer was on the phone the other day asking us to run a workshop of 'ethical music policies' for the American music industry. So the fact that one of our readers at Warner Music spotted and acted on our very subtle hint that the office could do with copies of the various OC soundtracks will have no bearing on today's Daily.
