This is nothing more than a PR stunt by International Campaign for Tibet (ICT) and Art of Peace Foundation. The album was put on the front page of iTune store on the opening day of the Beijing Olympic Games. It would be interesting to find out how much copies have been sold so far. Unfortunately, the Chinese government took the bait and made it a headline.

Note that AP casually left out the fact that these 40 Olympians were offered to download the $11.99 album for free (http://technology.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/tech_and_web/article4579783.ece). So not only “free Tibet” is trendy, it is now also free. What’s not to like?

So much for “an act of solidarity” as declared by the executive director of Art of Peace Foundation.
