Posted by CmdrTaco on from the can't-say-I'm-surprised-by-this dept.

angkor wrote in with a link to a story about how Universal Plans to copyprotect all CDs which will render them unplayable on Macs, DVD Players, PS2s, and some CD Players. And it won't even stop people from ripping MP3s I bet.

    Don't buy em. Vote with your wallet.

    You can better vote with your wallet by buying these CD's .... and returning them!

    "Universal told retailers that it would honor refunds on all returned discs -- even for CDs that have been opened."
