Re:Why It's Different From Photocopiers

On: Public CD Copying Machine in Australia

so why does it matter how much it cost and how long it takes? are you saying that if all books cost $200 upwards and had only 12 pages that photocopiers should be illegal? should cd copiers be legal only if they 30 minutes to duplicate and require you turn a hand crank while they are copying?
the reason that books cost the price that they do might have something to do with the cost of duplication. cd copying and p2p file sharing introduces music publishers to a new form of competition and their prices will need to adjust to the new business environment.

What you want then is the CD with the Vacation Package(tm) installed, this allows you listen to the CD from any location 2 weeks a year. The Extended Vacation Package(tm) is a better value and allows for use from any location in the world for a period of 6 weeks per year. The Extended Vacation Package very popular with the slackers in Germany and the rest of Europe. This is all just stupid. Using a location as the encryption key seems about as secure as using your birthday for a password.
