I'm not sure I understand the JPG+RAR notation. I assume they didn't just rename file extensions or whatever? (sorry, google very unhelpful here unsurprisingly)

[1] I actually don't think it makes a blind bit of difference if people sell a pound of jam instead of 454g or whatever. I don't think pubs need to stop selling Pints either. Hard to be outraged here. [2] TV stations are dead.
