CD Copying Kiosks Endorsed in Australia

Posted by timothy on from the very-polite-pirates-these-days dept.

Iron Sun writes: "While the story is somewhat misleading in stating that the plan legalises piracy, CD copying kiosks have been given the go ahead here in Australia. It will be interesting to see what the Australian Recording Industry Association says about this. Supposedly the plan involves royalty payments to ARIA, but where artists stand is not discussed."

  1. Ha ha ha, "better sound quality" ... :) by forged · · Score: 4, Informative
    Listen to this truckload of shit:
    • "Experts told the Herald Sun the CD-pirating kiosks -- with superior sound quality to home burners and able to outwit anti-copying devices -- will be a winner with older users."
    1. I wonder who these so-called experts are
    2. I wonder how they can pretend that a digital copy can have a better sound than another digital copy, if both are identical bit-per-bit
    3. How about the "...able to outwit anti-copying devices" ? Heard of CDRwin/CloneCD/<insert CD-copying program name here>, anyone ?

    Please, can we have a break from sensasionalism.

    BTW I think this such is a cool idea. Way to go, Aussies !
