  1. They're engineered to be copy-proof by akincisor · · Score: 5, Funny

    Hah!

    The last time their "advanced technology" was foiled by a felt tip pen! I hope they have something better.

    Wait... I hope they dont!

  2. A new copy protection scheme! by Karhgath · · Score: 5, Funny

    The RIAA is currently, and has been for quite a while, working on a new foolproof copy protection mechanism. With this system, no one will want to even try to bypass the copy protection mechanism and rip the CD, it will be futile and useless to even try.

    I was at their secret meeting on a undisclosed island in the pacific[shaped as the head of Hilary Rosen] and I was floored to hear of this new mechanism. They were working on it for many, many years, they were quite visionary. Slowly it is entering the unsuspected consumer's home even now. They call this new scheme JPCM: Just Produce Crap Music.

    No one will ever want to rip any CD anymore... Enter the complete DRM system for music!
