Ok, wow..another copy protection scheme. As a part of the artist community, I just don't see the point.
The people who copy our music are also the people who are buying our music. I'd much rather have my song traded 100 or 1000 times. Think of the free advertising!
And why buy anything from Sony when the independent music choices are so much better. Anyone who's in the know shops at CDBaby.com and learns about music at sites like CD Babel http://www.cdbabel.com/.
I say just avoid the record companies all together...they aren't worth the hassle.
I'm a fan of free music...to a point. I think free music distribution helps artists get known, but its pointless after the artist is known. There is plenty of free music from unknown artists that just want to give it away.
Case in point is www.CDBabel.com, which serves free music/singels from artists who want to be heard.
