Sticky Tape Defeats Sony DRM Copy Protection

cybrpnk2 writes "As reported by InformationWeek, Sony BMG Music's controversial copy-protection scheme can be defeated with a small piece of tape. According to thinktank Gartner analysts Martin Reynolds and Mike McGuire, Sony's XCP technology is stymied by sticking a fingernail-size piece of opaque tape on the outer edge of the CD. 'After more than five years of trying, the recording industry has not yet demonstrated a workable DRM scheme for music CDs. Gartner believes that it will never achieve this goal as long as CDs must be playable by stand-alone CD players.'"

Wow. A completely ridiculous statement, backed up by equally ridiculous moderation. Do you think that all people are the same, or something? That's the only way "we" could be ambivalent and spineless in the way you discuss.
