    Fucking Music Labels, Can't Even Play a Bought CD on my PC! WTF!!!

    Wow this is total crap. I just bought an all-time greatest Christmas songs CD from EMI. My stereo is fucked so I thought I'd play it on my PC. Well the fucking program that come along on the CD doesn't manage to open and I can't play them any other way.

    I already tried to rip them but the tracks sound fucked up due to the copy protection. What a brilliant idea, let's make CD's you can't play, that's a money-maker!

    And they wonder why people love downloading their music

                          They make these things now...I think they call 'em "CD Burners" or something to that effect.

                              Must be a Sony....I heard they put some new software that loads automatically onto your PC and controls the CDs. I think they are in trouble over it... do a google search.

                                      We shouldn't encourage piracy of music CDs. Someday, we might need the RIAA's support for legal issues and we don't want to be labelled a bunch of copyright infringers.

                                          What does burning have to do with being able to afford to buy the CD?

                                          I can buy and download and burn from iTunes Music Store.

                                          And it's because of shit like this and what Sony did that I refuse to buy another CD.

                                              The first lawsuit as a result of this has been filed in the state of Texas.

                                              The fine could be upwards of $100k for each computer infected and they've got 30,000 defendants at the moment.

                                              This will most like spell BIG TROUBLE for Sony.

                                                  depends on the cd , from what i have read all the infected cd's with the spyware on it have been recalled , consumers that brought prior to the recall can send the cd back to sony for a non copyrighted version , anyway from what i have come across , The EMI discs use different software than Sony BMG, and have yet to cause any computer troubles

                                                  but as i said depends on the cd and copyprotection on the back cover in the corner should be a little simple of what copy protection is being used

                                                  on the cd itself that might be a ring that is unpressed (looks unburnt) if that is the case all you need is a black texta and color in that ring , it appears about 2 cm's from the outer edge

                                                      a site put out by emi for consumers pissed off about not being able to rip the tracks

                                                      haven't looked at the site myself , so not sure if it has the info you need

                                                      that being said , my other job is at a radio station , so we get cd's sent to us all the time , never had a problem ripping the cd's even when they have copy protection , most problem with ripping comes down to the age of the cd-rom

                                                      could be that i am in australia so we might get different batches compared to elsewhere
