Break Sony’s new copy protection
Sony BMG is unveiling a new CD technology to make a “speed bump� in the world of piracy. The new CDs only allow for three duplicates to be made and can only be ripped to a computer in a protected format. Legal problems are already arising because the protected rip format forbids the music from being put onto the Apple iPod, so BMG is sending emails to inquiring customer with instructions on a backdoor route around this problem.
I feel that there are going to be a ton more ‘Macs’ in this world.
