Crippled CD Deemed Defective In France

Noryungi writes "The daily newspaper Liberation reports that at least one person got her money back, by suing EMI, no less. She was able to do that with the help of the largest consumer organization in France, which has its own list of articles on this subject. So, French people who cannot read their copy-protected CDs can get their money back, but copy protection is not made illegal by the court decision... It's certainly a step in the right direction, though..." For the French-impaired, an anonymous reader adds "The Register has a good article on EMI being forced to refund the cost of a copy-protected CD, because it was found to have a 'hidden defect' -- it wouldn't work on a car's CD player ... Is the tide changing?"

Against your opinion, I don't believe that the greatness of a country lies in how many countries it can destroy. Or how much time under fire it can survive, before surrending. A country greaness should be measured in achievements, both scientific and social. How well their people live, how happy they are. This is what matters in the end.

That should read "For the Freedom-impaired"
