EMI uses Cactus Data Shield copy protection for their discs. It's quite effective: only one of five checked PC optical drives managed to read them correctly (= I was able to exctract the contents). You have to check by yourself if your CD/DVD-ROM is able to handling such "cactus" protected discs. My: TDK's CyClone 48/24/48B can do this, as well as 2x speed TDK's DVD-R/RW writer. My older TDK drive, Pioneer DVD-ROM and new Plextor PX-116A DVD-ROM are also unable to read such discs.
