NSync Copy Protected CD

admiral2001 writes "This article from NewScientist.com details the most mass market venture into copy protected CDs. Namely, NSync's new CD will be released in a least 3 different versions (with different copy protection techniques). Also, one of the types has (small) labelling saying that the CD cannot be played on computers."

    Well that is too funny. I started my comment when there were no others and now I see that the first 13+ people that got in before me said the exact thing I just commented on. You are all sheep. Think for yourselves before posting a stupid response to a real problem.

    Under proposed legislation the SSSCAAAHHH! All flatbed scanners will have red X's marked on the glass in red grease pencil. If you remove any X's the Copyright police will know about it. You will then be given a fair trial after which you may choose either a leathal injection or front row seats at an NSync concert.

    hehe, damn you guys crack me up you really do. I would suggest therapy for you.. It might do you some good, seriously.


    AdForce shut down in June also, dumbass. You should keep FuckedCompany.com up a little bit more so you could have read it. It was fun, the last two weeks the company was in business we just played UT and AOE2.


    I still find it funny you have nothing better to do than try to remain anonymous and make really stupid insults against me.


    To debunk the insults.. I worked at AdForce for 1 year as a contractor, then signed on for 6 months as a full time employee because they asked nicely. They paid me really well, and I got 7 weeks severence plus 2 bonuses (excluding sign on bonus ) and cashed out vacation.


    Yeah.. that sure was idiocy. Making over $100K in 6 months sure was the stupidest decision I made.. boy am I glad you were able to point it out to me.
    P.S. I happen to have a job now.. shelter isn't a problem either.


    Thanks.. good way to spend a few minutes chuckling at the misguided anger and delusions of my good ol' buddies.

    The third method of copy protection is the most difficult of all: you have to draw the CD by hand.
