Don't these people realise that this copy protection software actually harms sales? ...forcing people to download the music instead? (http://145.228.80.19/forum/viewtopic.php?p=600&sid=4fec1e77d5554e3179877fc580f4ee35#600)
...Sorry, but this is something I feel strongly about. All I wanted to do was listen to the new Kosheen album on my iPod!! :mad:
Feel free to add your comments to my post on the Kosheen site!!! ;)
I agree with you fully, if you buy a CD you should be able to listen to it how u want. I mean.. their stupid copy protection does nothing to stop piracy, and just hurts legit customers, like you said.
Jackonicko reports it ripped fine on his 900 iBook.
BMG may as well stamp '666' on their NonCD's, as they are the spawn of the Devil.
They actually do not comply with the format of music CD's as laid down by Philips and Sony
"Philips, because of conformity issues, has warned the record labels that the discs are actually not CDs at all and must bear warning labels to inform consumers.
"We've made sure they would put a very clear warning that you're not buying a compact disc, but something different," Wirtz said. "We've been warning some labels to begin with, and they've adjusted their behavior."
That means labels would also be barred from using the familiar "compact disc" logo that has been stamped on every CD since Philips and Sony jointly developed the technology in 1978."
