Cactus Data Shield Tries Again

autocracy writes: "Midbar, an Israeli company that developed the breakage of standard called Cactus says that they have released more than 10 million CDs to the U.S. and Europe. They now claim that there will be no issues playing it but you will lose quality if you try to copy. I'm just wondering how it is that you can play it on a system at perfect quality, but when you copy it things don't sound right. Do they not know about optical output? Lame quotes including comments by the makers of how this is a 'proven technology' can be found at C|NET."

i'm sorry, but i've heard this too many times now. another altruistic thief who only has the best interests of the artist at heart. it's very convenient to claim to be pro-artist and anti-evil-RIAA. so why are the artists signing this so-called horrible deals anyway? if you want to steal music, fine, but don't pretend your doing the artist any favors.
