Copy Protection On CDs Is 'Worthless'
zotler writes "NewScientist.com has an article about how copy protection on audio CDs is worthless. I thought this was funny since I just read this earlier Slashdot article 'BMG copy protecting all CDs'." The article also neatly sums up the technology behind current fair-use-inhibition stratagems.
The questions aren't exclusive, and people who copy software can also answer yes to copying audio
Well, the way the question is worded "Do you or anyone in your household copy software, games OR music" would indicate an exclusive answer. But then again, they DO drive on the wrong side of the street...
his suggestion to the music industry is to make cds a couple dollars... i think the idea of 15 bundled songs is the problem. make a SONG $1... and then tell your artists to make good songs.

WHY IS THIS SO HARD FOR THEM TO GRASP?! i haven't bought a CD in yyyyyeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrsssss after all mine were stolen some time ago. i don't want to rely on the physical disc anymore, so i don't buy them. BUT if you let me download for a dollar, i WOULD. god damn this pisses me off... almost as much as copy prevention... if i can HEAR it, i can RECORD it.
