This link is worth reading too (it's these stories and others in the past few weeks that have made be so damn angry - and now someone's kicked me off and I'm venting my spleen! :-) There are two courses of action I plan to take: 1) Make a right royal stink and lots of noise to the retalier, and the record company, if I ever get a copy protected CD. There are millions of perfectly good CD readers in the world that can't be used for piracy, and yet are being branded as "dangerous" and unsupported. 2) Buy vinyl. I hate those shiny little discs anyway. Where does the stylus go? How do you find the mid-section of a track when you can't see a change in the depth of the groove? Darn new-fangled technology! If the record companies won't sell us decent CDs we can actually use, I won't buy them. -- "The Tao that can be expressed is not the eternal Tao"
