More Copy Protected CDs?

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the beware-of-disc dept.

Mahonrimoriancumer writes "There are a lot of CDs that have been released recently which can't be played on the computer or *laugh* ripped. Apparently only a few markets have the 'copy protected' CDs while the rest don't. Here is a list of some that are 'protected.' Does anyone know of other CDs with this problem?" I own at least one CD on that list and it ripped just fine, so perhaps that are different versions of the CDs on the market

    Seriously, though -- how many of us have had to show up and "fix" a CD-R drive because the user put in that stupid plastic disc?

    I'm beginning to think they should label it with "this is not a blank CD -- it is a useless piece of plastic. Just throw it away" (like the books that have "this page intentionally left blank")...

    ``Greatest single guitar chord in music history: First chord, Time, Pink Floyd, Dark Side of the Moon.''

    Not a bad choice, but I think the title is really held by the first chord of ``Hard Day's Night''.

    Now let's see just how far off-topic we can get here. :-)
