Still More 'Copy Protected' CDs

Posted by michael on Wednesday September 26, 2001 @07:08AM from the drink-coaster dept.

maniac11 writes: "This story describes new CDs planned on being released by Universal Music Group that sport anti-copying technology. Not much in the way of actual details, but a heads up on a new plan to foil." Same price, worse product -- higher sales! Universal seems to be the first company to commit to downgrading its entire lineup over the next six months or so.

People who like big breasts are fools.
Small breasts, rock hard nipples, short hair and big ass. That's more like it!

Another poor record company excuse.... by Anonymous Coward · 2001-09-26 08:33 · Score: -1, Offtopic

Once again, the brainiacs at the record companies blame pirates for their 20% decline in sales instead of, say, uhhhh:

A GENERAL SHARP DOWNTURN IN THE WORLD'S ECONOMY!

-or-

A LACK OF QUALITY PRODUCT! If a company produces crap, how do you expect the consumer to buy it??

Grumble. I just got my MP3 server working sweetly, too.
