Next Restricted CD Coming Soon

jroysdon writes: "Music industry quietly unveiling copy-proof CDs - 'Gariano said the CD case would carry a copy protection sticker and an insert explaining the technology. Record stores will accept returns, even if the CD case is opened, if buyers are unhappy with it.' I say we specifically look for titles with this sticker, purchase them, give them a whirl in our PCs and see them not play, and return them. Vote with not just our money, but their overhead costs to handle all the returned merchandise and bad publicity when stores don't want CDs with those stickers." Read the article - there are some great quotes there.

Remember you are dealing with people who cant handle jobs that require thought.

Not everyone is lucky enough or grows up in an environment that allows them to have a cushy programming job or something that "requires thought." I would appreciate you remembering this next time you feel like insulting retail employees or equating them with braindead zombies. Store policies exist for a reason and following instructions has nothing to do with being unable to think for oneself. Of course, we aren't all shining examples of intelligence like you.
