Microsoft Introduces Its Own CD Copy-Inhibition Scheme

Posted by timothy on from the play-impairment dept.

M.C. Hampster writes "MSNBC is carrying a Reuters story about Microsoft's new CD protection technology. At the heart of the technology is the laying of songs "onto a copy-controlled CD in multiple layers, one that would permit normal playback on a stereo and a PC.""

    Oh come on. They just had a typo. They really meant P.C., short for Piece of Crap.
    Since Windows is the biggest Piece of Crap around, everyone KNOWS that that are just refering to Windows and not "Personal Computers" in general, since "Personal Computers" includes things like Macs, palm pilots, etc.
