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

  1. Music industry wants to have its cake and eat it. by Anton+Anatopopov · · Score: 2, Redundant
    They want to sell you a 'license' to listen to the music, but then when you try and make a legitimate copy to protect your investment, they get all legalistic and accuse you of a crime.

    The music industry needs to take a look at its model of doing business. The current model is fundamentally flawed.
