Ah. Now I see why there was some confusion regarding this story. The
version that Aaron references above was written by someone who seems to
be as out of touch with DJ mixtape culture as the arresting officers. 

For a slightly better write-up by a journo who knows his shit when it
comes to hip-hop/etc., check out

Perhaps the Star reporter was getting things confused with this story
about *real* music piracy - http://www.canoe.ca/JamMusic/oct5_fines.html
