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 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."
I had a digital copy of the album a week before it was released...
Aww crud, here comes more trolls.

But wouldn;t that be anti-competitive for other companies that sell on-line music, such as Napster?
if you're stupid, you deserve to pay for music.

I was so pleased by the response to my last letter that I decided to write another one. Don't worry; I have plenty of new stuff to say about Slashdotting Fucking Assholes and his minions. What follows is the story of how Slashdotting Fucking Assholes can be so rich in the rhetoric of democracy and yet so poor in its implementation. His diatribes are rife with contradictions and difficulties; they're utterly surly, meet no objective criteria, and are unsuited for a supposedly educated population. And as if that weren't enough, I have a dream that my children will be able to live in a world filled with open spaces and beautiful wilderness -- not in a dark, morally questionable world run by detestable tin-pot tyrants. Slashdotting Fucking Assholes labels anyone he doesn't like as "peremptory". That might well be a better description of him. I had thought the world was free of prurient sad sacks. So imagine my surprise when I discovered that he wants to rally for a cause that is completely void of moral, ethical, or legal validity.
Have you ever stopped to consider the enormous havoc and ruin that has been wrought in this world by him and his collaborators? I have. That's why I say that Slashdotting Fucking Assholes insists that he has achieved sainthood. This fraud, this lie, is just one among the thousands he perpetrates.
Although he babbles on and on about opportunism, Slashdotting Fucking Assholes has no more conception of it than most other bleeding-heart infernal-types. His campaigns have no basis in science or in human experience. Instead, they consist of fork-tongued allegations derived from a world view rooted in tyrannical voyeurism. If I understand his animadversions correctly, then on a television program last night, I heard one of this country's top scientists conclude that, "The Orwellian implications of Slashdotting Fucking Assholes's plans for the future are clear." That's exactly what I have so frequently argued, and I am pleased to have my view confirmed by so eminent an individual. I know the following is an incredibly cheap shot, but one of Slashdotting Fucking Assholes's favorite tricks is to create a problem and then to offer the solution. Naturally, it's always his solutions that grant him the freedom to repeat the mistakes of the past, never the original problem.
Slashdotting Fucking Assholes is entirely mistaken if he believes that it is not only acceptable, but indeed desirable, to invade every private corner and force every thought into a malign mold. Ask yourself: When he looks in the mirror in the morning, does Slashdotting Fucking Assholes see more than the same, apolaustic, obstinate face that all unimaginative unstable-types share? I bet you'll answer the same way that I did, because we both know that Slashdotting Fucking Assholes's mind has limited horizons. It is confined to the immediate
Top secret Slashdot document flowchart recreated for your viewing pleasure. This was taken with a micro camera like in the mission impossible movie, but I was dangling over a wet heap of smelly socks and unwashed bodies and they had just passed out from eating frozen pizza, they can't afford the real stuff. I took this picture and digitized it. I narrowly escaped this ordeal and am still mixing Chlorine Bleach and Battery Acid to produce Chlorine gas to get the smell of the Slashdot hovel out of my nose. Unwashed clothing, greasy matter hair, fart saturated furniture at every turn. Open cases of crappy K6 based white-box china-hardware strewn about, half ass 4 wire extra cheesy barely twisted CAT3 wire being used as CAT5 because "it works fine" 400 distributions of Linux lying around messily unboxed and documentation strewn about. The smell of feces was in the air, along with rotting food and marinating sweat from the foul underarms of the Slashdot team. Upon obtaining this evidence I now know more about things are done around here. It is a very interesting process that outlines the depravity of the programming here.
