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!

Would be pretty difficult to try and DJ without any working CDs! That would make a large part of your collection pretty much obsolete, wouldn't it?

I reckon it's all a plot so the record companies can cash in on downloading. your Cd won't play? Why not buy the MP3 version too, sucker?

That's *exactly* it - and the old licences allowed you to make copies of music for 'personal use'.

Record companies are just getting greedy and desperate under the cloak of lgal righteousness...

...and I'm off again. FECK! ARSE! MP3s! GIRLS!
