Posted by michael on from the trees-obscure-view-of-forest dept.

jsepeta sends in a story about Cactus Data Shield, one of the schemes to be used for copy-protecting compact discs. A reporter for TechTV notes that DVD drives see right through the disc corruption that Cactus uses to supposedly prevent those CDs from being ripped.

    That's cute.. Dell uses DVD drives which by-pass the copy protection...

    If they enforce the DMCA on this, they can change there commercials..

    Who the hell rated the above post "Troll". Just because somebody decides to post something counter to the opinions of most /.ers makes him a troll? He's pretty much right. You buy music subject to given terms, and nobody is forcing you to buy it.
