When Copy Protection Fails

Posted by timothy on from the nothing-can-go-wrong dept.

StArSkY writes "The Age in Australia has an article today explaining the experiences of a Melbourne guy who purchased the Norah Jones CD tht is 'copy protected.' Unfortunately the only way he could listen to the CD on Apple computers or Intel computers running XP was to copy the CD. This sort of defeats the purpose of the copy protection in the first place. Serious yet amusing at the same time."

    No, not serious, just amusing. F***ing hilarious actually.

    Could there be something wrong in the system?
