********



I sent the link in the e-mail to Brainy Redhead on twitter, who is a computer security expert.  She feels this is a phishing scam


*****************
Addendum 2/27/15:

I got an e-mail from Warner Music saying that this isn't a phishing scam, but they can't understand why it went out.  I'm not taking this blog down yet, tho.  If they don't know why it went out, I think the links are still suspicious.
