I know nothing about this FTP or illegal mp3s you refer to. If, however, I were to, say, hypothetically know anything about them, I would say that said mp3's were sourced from the exact same master as that from which the CD's were authored. However, such hypothetical mp3's, because they were being webcast, would have been at an unacceptably low bitrate, thus introducing many digital artifacts and distortion that are not present on the CD's. Hypothetically speaking.
