           LONDON (AP) - The Irish rock band U2 may have become the world's
        first music group to be burglarized on the Internet, according to
        reports. Two songs lifted from the band's yet-to-be released album
        have been removed from computers at U2's Dublin studio and
        distributed on the Internet, according to the Sunday Times of
        London. Island records, which manages the multi-million selling
        artists, says the appearance of the songs represents copyright
        infringement. Island is reportedly trying to close down the Internet
        sites on which the songs, "Discotheque" and "Wake Up Dead Man,"
        appear.
