Intersesting (and hackerish) side note on how the story finally broke:
"When Brian Ventura, a financial analyst from Mount Vernon, New York, put the recording of Liszt's Transcendental Etudes credited to Hatto into his computer, the Gracenote database used by the iTunes software identified the disc not as a recording by Hatto but as one by László Simon."

Other sources claim this was "almost certainly due to someone deliberately planting the information in the Gracenotes database" because "the track timings are too dissimilar for the software to pluck Simon's BIS recording out of the many 12-track CDs it holds"
