Macrovision CD Protection Bypassed

Posted by timothy on Wednesday August 1, 2001 @05:18AM from the as-if-it-wouldn't-be dept.

LoPan writes: "The defective CDs that have recently arrived on the market have already had their copy protection broken according to The Register. What I'd like to know is if the discs do not conform to the Red Book standard, and if so, can they actually be sold as audio CD's, with the logo? Are they marked, warning consumers that they're buying a defective product?" The cdfreaks article referenced by the Register article tells you all you need to know. It's Windows-centric, but give it a few weeks and I bet cross-platform answers will show up.

You can demand that the store manager deliver Hillary Rosen's head on a platter, that doesn't mean that it's going to happen. You may have to go to small claims court to get a refund.
