Yeah, I am sure.

I was talking to another one of my friends and he recalls it as well.
He remembers it having to do with the cd's being found on a tanker off
the coast of the UK or Asia.

I don't quite remember it like that, but I do remember it.  All of my
searches keep pulling info to do with AOL's new AV service...  ;p

Thanks though, I do appreciate the response.
