In the "old days", thieves had to blow open the vault to get the money. Today you can do the same thing by "hacking". Just a few days ago it was announced that the digital vaults that secure Sony Music had been digitally penetrated by hackers who walked away with Michael Jackson‘s entire back catalog. Since it's report there has been an arrest made, a pair of UK men were arrested. James Marks and James McCormick are reportedly big fans of Michael Jackson. That is thought to be the motive for them winding their way into Sony's servers, and take what is estimated to be more than 50,000 files.

Marks and McCormick have pleaded not guilty to the charges  They’re currently free on bail while awaiting their trial, scheduled for January 2013.
