In order to access an ID, must the accessing api_key match the owner of the ID being accessed? In other words, would this request work? http://developer.echonest.com/api/get_similar?
api_key=XXXXXXX
id=music://id.echonest.com/YYYYYYY/AR/42

Yes, only the creator/owner of an ID can access the underlying musical entity. Of course anyone can access entities associated with automatically assigned IDs (where the 'owner' is ~).
