This kind of stuff pisses me off

I buy cds and I put them onto minidisks.

I don't rip them onto my computer for other people to download and I don't sell the cds after I'm done putting them onto minidisks.

It really fucking annoys me when I spend quite a bit of money on overpriced cds and I can't even put them onto my md player. Its just stupid that these labels are punishing their customers to prevent some people from burning their cds.

Maybe your anger would be better directed at people who do the ripping and selling. The companies have a right to protect their products.

You can say this about any service that is open to abuse. Does a safe-driving 20 year old man deserve prohibitively high insurance premiums because most 20 year old males are shitty drivers?

Maybe not, but the company has to protect their service/product. They wouldn't have to do it if customers could be trusted not to copy the CDs for nefarious purposes.

As much as it does suck, ECG is right.

It is annoying when I buy a new CD and can't make MP3's out of it to put on my MP3 player, but that's what's become of CDs these days

So have the US courts.

Since many of the companies invoking copy protection are the companies marketing Mp3 players, MD players, blank CDs and Cassettes, and many even include software and advertisements for ripping music from CDs, I'd say that it IS expected that it's more than just a disc that crashes computers and some CD players...

As well they should market those things. There are alot of people with CD collections that are unprotected, if they are going to be ripping songs off these CDs then the companies are entitled to recoup any lost revenue by selling the software that people use to copy them.

I'm not aware or concerned with the US courts or a particular company's view, only that when you pay money for an album on CD, you can expect to be able to play that album on a CD player and thats it.

That's clearly not it.

Sicne Phillips, owners of the patents on CDs, says that copy protection means it's no longer a CD...That would carry with it the notion that it's expected.

You think otherwise. Well, that's your opinion. If people didn't expect a CD to do more than play music in your CD player, there wouldn't be an issue. That's the logical flaw in your "What you can expect" line.

BTW, they'll never put up copy protection we can't crack.

I can rip tracks through my stereo. CD quality.

That would probably mean more if I was willing to buy copy protected CDs, but the point is...If I can spend, like, 30 minutes and crack any Copy protection, without advanced techniques and hi-tech computer software, then anything they do is bound to fail, because there is a way that anyone with the will to do it, a little time, and just a TEENSY ammount of brains can accomplish.

But that still doesn't explain your clearly false expectations.

If the music companies adapted, there also wouldn't be a problem.

Well, that's going to be an obvious problem in any industry that involves recorded media. Where there is a will, there is a way. Even broadcasters can't keep up with the people who work on cracking their encryption.

No kidding. You think?

And they can work with it, or they can sue their fans.

In the end, the latter ends up creating bigger problems.

Notice that the people who cry their hissyfits seem to be the only ones with a major problem. Funny that.

It takes you 30 minutes to burn a CD?

It takes me like 5.

I love my burning program (Nero) when you copy a CD with copy-protection on it, it tells you that it's copyrighted, and then 2 seconds later starts burning anyway. I don't know why it tells you, but I think it's pretty funny.

I love my burning program (Nero) when you copy a CD with copy-protection on it, it tells you that it's copyrighted, and then 2 seconds later starts burning anyway. I don't know why it tells you, but I think it's pretty funny.
Well, if I'm using my stereo burner.

I've got a 52X CD burner on my comp, but there's only so fast a CD-Sync deal can work on home audio.

Didn't know Nero ignored copy protection.

However, this is a surefire method.

Yes, it's annoying, but while a market still exists for music piracy, you'll have to live with it.

Of course now that a British music association is trying to get websites that sell cheap CDs shut down, and the whole RIAA fiasco, you may have to wait some time for the pirate CD market to die a death...

What's that David Bowie quote I was trying to think of?

Oh yeah... they're "Putting out fire with gasoline..."

I'm not really condoning people who don't pay for music. It's just that I understand why they do it.

Price fixing on both sides of the pond.
