Fifteen Minutes Anyone?

George Hotelling is performing an "experiment." For 99 cents, he purchased a song on Apple's iTunes music service, and then put the rights to his download for sale on eBay. According to the AfterDawn.com newsletter, bids were as high as $350 dollars at one point. The auction has since been cancelled because eBay considers it a violation of their Downloadable Media Policy.

I'm not surprised George tried this; someone was bound to test the system. Who are these ID10TS bidding on a music track they could purchase for 99 cents just by signing up for an iTunes account? Windows users desperate to have some downloads they cannot currently purchase?
