It seems Sony (and their ilk) is bent on destroying themselves and damaging the industry.
Will they ever learn?

I refuse to buy a CD with this copy protection CRAP. It violates our RIGHT to make a back up copy. That is my story and I am sticking to it.

Re: A page from the book of microsoft
The reason there are pirated versions of XP out there is because the Enterprise edition does not require activation. A couple people I go to college with have got their "special rate" copy because of this. Not because the activation scheme didn't work.
Anyway I get your point. People will find a way around it. All this does is hurt the consumers who "play by the rules" all the time with less computer know how.

Re: Bent on destruction
That's just it.
They think that everyone will just go along with their crap, and thus complacency = acceptance = more of this to come.
BTW -- just curious....
Does anyone know if these type of copy protection schemes work on stereo component burners?

Any audiophile can get around this stupid setup with nothing more than a regular CD player, some RCA cable, and one of those RCA adapters you can buy for like $1 at Radio Shack. Just record into the Line In as a WAV, encode to MP3, and you're set.

Re: My 2 cents
I think we need to get together and buy (ugh) 1 copy
of this "copy protected" CD. Then, using existing means,
make a whole bunch of copies and mail them back to Sony
with a giant picture of my big, white a..
At this point, it has nothing to do with file sharing,
it is fair use. I would just like to keep using my
MP3 player using music I buy.

| Won't stop copying
Once again a major record label is going out of their
way to curtail fair use rights in the name of preventing
piracy. Their measures won't stop the real pirates who
will record the audio from the CD using the line in on
any sound card, then burning not just one CD or making
mp3s to put on the P2P networks, but rather copying
thousands of CDs to sell on the gray market in places
like street corners and flea markets. It's THAT kind
of piracy that's costing the 5 major labels the bulk
of their profits, and not file sharers. But those dumb***
bozos will never learn, will they.

Re: Won't stop copying
Exactly Shuten, this screws the casual user who is just getting into the mp3/burning/ripping scene. I have my 20 doller cd player, audio cord, and Brand Spanking New soundcard for a reason. Im sticking it to Sony everyway I can just as soon as a descent cd comes out with copy protection.
I wont put Crap pop on my system
Now excuse me I have to get back to KazaaLite my mp3's are done Dling

Nope. I used a reg edit and step by step setup from a article in the Register about how week WinXPs protection was. Worked just fine on the Winxp pro.
But after about 6 months of having it on my system I went out and got WinXP Pro anyway. I like to use and see how some software works before I spend money. I wanted to see if WinXP would work with the programs I use before I fully converted..
As far as the CD copy protection goes it will only degrade the quality of the music, but it will NOT stop the copying. What would stop the copying would be a fair price for the CD, Not the $15 $20 that they charge now. I thought that the price would drop since the price of the CD was much less than vinal..but the greed of the music companies keeps the price up...
The stars want the millions, and so do the record companies. Its just greed plain and simple

Re: My 2 cents
Just recently one of my favorite CD's found it's way on the floor nudged between some books. I push the books out of the way (not knowing my fave CD is set in an awkward position) and SNAP. My CD shatters into dozens of shards. It's a good thing I made mp3's of the best tracks before that happened. Though I might still look for the CD in a used music store since I didn't back up the entire thing. Just goes to show you there are real instances where there is complete legitimacy in fair use copies.

Re: Big deal.
Of course. Physical protection of the media means nothing because you can still capture the end product, sound. Nothing short of eradicating all sound recording devices and methods in the world is going to stop this. However the music industry can't comprehend this and insists on creating useless protection schemes that are now interfering with established industry standards. You're right, this will do nothing to stop people with the know how to get around it and only hurt the unknowledgeable consumers.
