You say:
We guessed that if this could become a widespread phenomenon it would really highlight one of the biggest flaws with the “illegal downloading” method of obtaining music. i.e You Do Not Know That Someone Hasn’t Fucked With Your Favorite Band’s Album.

More like No One Had Fucked With Your Favourite Band’s Album, But Now They Have!

I mean, who hasn't had a moment when you're listening to something and you think: "man, this song would be PERFECT if they just changed/added/removed this one thing..." Makes me wonder if this kind of alteration could catch on as a new fad... it isn't really a "remix," but it isn't the original either. Customized music?</P> Assuming for the moment that this is true (hypothetically)… what if some of these songs were actually improved by the overdubs?

It's entirely possible that the pranksters in question could get away with it via Soulseek, YSI, Limewire (but on Oink? hell no!) but as others have said, some examples would be nice.</p> I’ve downloaded leaks in the past where the leaked version differed from the CD version, but I’ve always attributed that to the leaked version being a demo/unfinished/rough draft/etc of the album in question, which they often really are.
