I have 2 Issues with the idea of making non-burnable CD's.
First, these people (RIAA ect...) are guilty of presumption of guilt. They are assuming that every person who burns a CD is going to give a free copy to their friend. Well although this is the case sometimes, it is not always true.
Second, if all CD's are made this way then then i will never again buy a CD because the only cd player i own (besides the one in my car) is in a computer. What a great marketing plan: make it so people can't listen to your music.
But I do see the point of the record companies and i think that i have a good idea. I think that they should sell 2 versions of every CD. 1 version is not burnable and the other is, but cost a few dollors more. This solution would make everyone happy. The record companies would be makng money on people buring CD's.
I wish music was like a car. If I buy a car, I can do whatever I want to it. It's mine. I can rip out the enging and put in a new one if I choose. I can can then sell that car, or even give it away. If I do, I don't owe anything to the car manufacturer. That car was mine, and i sold it. If music was the same, someone could buy a CD and the music would be theirs. They did infack buy it, so they could give it away.
Since when sharing a bad thing? I'll tell you,ever since some big record company felt threatend by some people who like to share.
