I doubt that the artists would like to hear that their precious work has been degraded by the VERY PEOPLE they're PAYING TO SELL IT.
I mean, I understand that Universal is trying to copy protect their work, but if the work sucks badly enough that no one wants to listen to it, or if it's degraded enough...
If this music is compressed, isn't it also missing tiny pieces, meaning that it has a lower sound quality (perhaps not important to human ears) than a standard CD format would have?

Is it encrypted or encrypted AND compressed?
