Low-tech 'hack' takes fizz out of Pepsi-iTunes promo | CNET News.com
by Rattle at 5:20 am EST, Feb 23, 2004

] iTunes fans have "hacked" a high-profile Pepsi promotion
] aimed at giving away 100 million songs through special
] codes marked on the underside of bottle caps. The codes
] can be entered on the iTunes site to download a single
] for free. One in three bottles is a winner, but it turns
] out that the markings can be read without removing the
] cap.
]
] CNET News.com confirmed that it is not only possible to
] pick out winning bottles in advance; careful scrutiny can
] reveal the full 10-digit redemption code, meaning no
] purchase is required to get a free iTunes single courtesy
] of Pepsi.

So that qualifies as stealing music, right?
