Apple (R)ejects Copy Protection

Posted by pudge on from the heh-heh-heh dept.

Frogbeater writes "Apple keeps on keeping on with the anti-copy protection crowd by using their technical info database as a platform for denouncing the artists who are getting on the bandwagon." I like this line from the technote: You may be unable to eject certain copy-protected audio discs, which resemble Compact Discs (CD) but technically are not. Indeed.

  1. Certain discs, huh? by the+phantom · · Score: 3, Funny

    Shakira?
    Jennifer Lopez?
    Celine Dion?

    Wow, I thought it would eject these at the mere thought of having to play them. I almost feel sorry for the poor iMacs that are forced to eat these.

    The following discs are known to use the copy protection:
    Shakira: "Laundry Service"
    Jennifer Lopez: "J To Tha L-O!"

    This must be what hell is like....

    Having a Jennifer Lopez CD in the drive and NOT being able to get it out.

    I would have to opt for a small tactical nuclear weapon. The CD is getting out of the drive - one way or the other.

      Could be worse, you could be able to play it too...

    heh :)
    question is, can we use the Aibo SDK to get it to recognise a copy protected cd, bark and urinate on it?
