Copy-protected CD Tops U.S. Charts

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the pay-to-play dept.

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 SunnComm and BMG execs quoted in the article say that they're pleased with the apparent consumer acceptance of the anti-piracy technology, but they have been hearing questions about how people can get the copy-blocked songs from the CD onto an iPod."

    But wouldn;t that be anti-competitive for other companies that sell on-line music, such as Napster?
