Hrrm. Seems that record companies have launched a new weapon in the fight against music piracy - uncopiable (and seemingly unplayable) CDs! (Note the splendid returns policy...)



I can see this idea being scrapped almost immediately (if it can't be 'fixed' with black marker pen) - it's getting to the point where most people won't want a CD they can't copy onto their iPod, MP3 player or computer...

Thanks to mikki_g for the link!

Which record label is this anyway? Is this going to effect any less whingey/jumpery bands?

At least it'll take a while to get too irritating then.

Actually, I fail to see how they can make this work on a PC if the auto-run feature on the drive is disabled.

I'm pretty sure they're on Parlophone, although I'm not sure who they in turn are linked to. It's rather disconcerting to see this so soon after the recent copy-protection scandal involving Sony.
