It's Tuesday, and the new link on the music store main page says that this is the new free song:

http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/M...temId=19034871

However, it says its 99 cents when you try to download it.

Any ideas who to contact to get this for free?

Go ahead and download it, you won't be charged...and if you are, you'll just get a credit for a song...

I just tried to download it and got a message saying the track was being modified and to please try again later, so I assume it'll be "free" pretty soon.

This is a computer-generated message and needs no signature.

Still unavailable and "being modified" today. This morning I also got a 5555 error when I tried. What gives?

It's now showing up as "Free", but I got "an unknown error" when I tried to get it.

I relaunched iTunes and it worked. Probably a coincidence, but worth a try.
