Record Companies Sued Over Charley Pride CD

Posted by michael on from the singing-the-blues dept.

DevNova writes: "This posting describes a woman in California suing Fahrenheit Entertainment, Inc. and its label Music City Records over CDs she has purchased which use a proprietary music encoding scheme that prevents them from being listened to without the user identifying themselves. These CDs won't play on standard CD players, are not encoded in the popular MP3 format, and will not play on a computer until the user enters personal information. A large part of the suit is that Fahrenheit discloses none of this information on the packaging."

    I just heard some sad news on talk radio - Horror/Sci Fi writer Stephen King was found dead in his Maine home this morning. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss him - even if you didn't enjoy his work, there's no denying his contributions to popular culture. Truly an American icon.

    Charley Pride is a country artist. A lot of people listen to Charley Pride. Unlike some artist in other music types (such as crap I mean rap) Charley Pride can perform & sing.

    Sir, I would like you to slurp on my happy pole while fist your mother with both hands. Then you should put both of my big cheese encrusted balls in your mouth and gargle. If you are interested, please meet me at the nacho stand.
