	That is moot. The IRTC is now distributing it. The IRTC obviously does
not have a problem with the music at this time. 

	The issue raised was voting and nothing else. 

	Even if it is the most blatant pirated material, the IRTC has put it
online for voting. The IRTC as the creator of the rules is the sole judge
of compliance with the rules. They have allowed it in the competition
therefore it is in compliance with the rules. 

	As the IRTC does not consider it a copyright violation there should be
no voting reflecting an opinion contrary to that of the IRTC.
