Ubisoft: Torrented their own music?

btw a similar thing occurred with windows XP. One of the audio files is tagged as being edited with a cracked app.

As someone mentioned, if the torrented version was FLAC, and Ubi then ripped it to MP3, the only quality loss in the process would be FLAC -> MP3, which would happen anyway, even had Ubi used their own originals (which are/were almost certainly in a lossless format).

Still, it does make them look remarkably stupid.
