Copy-Protected CDs Going Mainstream

bmarklein writes "According to this CNET article, Arista is going to start shipping copy-protected CDs in volume. Looks like the discs will include DRM'd Windows Media files in the second session. No mention of which titles will be affected, but Arista is the home of Santana, Whitney Houston, Pink, TLC and Kenny G."

    I gather that you don't believe in inalienable rights

    I do not believe in rights that are not granted by a matter of law. I don't believe the universe, or some deity bestows upon humanity any rights whatsoever. Freedoms are bestowed and protected by people. It matters very little to me what anyone believes the Constitution's freedoms come from.

    People who have swung so far to the right that they have disowned the ideals of our country?

    I'm sorry, how am I "to the right?" I have no conservative political association at all. I realize that rights are purely agreements of a society to protect, by force, certain freedoms for its inhabitants on the premise that they create a more stable and prosperous society, and suddenly I'm a conservative? That's fairly new to me.

    What you are is a troll or a kook. You have no basis for concluding any of my political views.
    Detached, raving, non-sensical ideologues like yourself are not, generally, responsible for much of anything in my experience. Go tag your political nonsense on to someone else's post.
