Copy-protected CD Tops U.S. Charts
Joey Patterson writes "CNET is reporting that Velvet Revolver's new album, 'Contraband', which is protected with SunnComm's anti-copying technology, has topped the U.S. album charts.

The EFF should sue and issue a press release accusing the distributors with distributing a virus/trojan horse. For good measure, someone out there could whip up a resident program that screams "VIRUS DETECTED" whenever such a CD is inserted.

Music thieves of the world - Grow Up! Haven't any of you prison lawyers had a job yet. Here's a thought, go work for someone who will pay you with MP3 music files. Not a pretty world you would want to live in would you. Here's another thought, so many of the super rich are rich because so many of the super lazy just want to play video games. Learn how the rich get rich before you complain about anything and I don't mean all that prison talk about how you're the victim being repressed. They should rename this site to 'Slashdot Prison Talk'. Here's the first discussion - Help, I need a prison lawyer, my mothers making me look for a job! Ghost Atom
