CDs or not? An interesting take on Key2Audio

Posted by Hemos on from the to-listen-or-not-to-listen dept.

  1. Key2Audio == TERRORISM by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 1, Funny

    Let's see.....Sony is intentionally distributing shiny aluminum discs which it knows are corrupt and which were created for the purpose of being unplayable on computers. I believe under Title II of the USA PATRIOT Act, that meets the criteria for electronic terrorism, which may bring a punishment of up to life in prison depending on the circumstances.

    So, what does it take to get Sony executives hauled in front of a secret military tribunal?

    Maybe this is a sign that machines have begun to think for themselves. After all, I would kill myself before I played Celine Dion, maybe the macs are doing the same thing.

    i'm a huge celine dion fan*; her inspirational music really helps a long photoshop session. however, when i heard that her new CD wouldn't play on my mac i downloaded MP3s of all the tracks from hotline instead of buying it. sorry, sony!
