Default copy protected CDs

I can confirm that is the case. Norah Jones Feels like Home will not play on a
top of the range DVD player my cousin has, but after I did a straight copy using
Nero 6 the copy disc plays fine.

Remember on the back of all your vinyl albums from the 70's "Home Taping is
Killing Music"
Then CD copying Was Killing Music
Now Downloading is Killing Music

Crap music at high prices is killing music.


I still doubt the likes of
Asda are selling them as loss leaders at £9.87 when the list price is 13-15
quid!


and even that is expense when you can buy the of the net at £8.99 or less from
the likes of CD-WOW and Play247 and they will deliver it to your door.

Your got to wonder the brains of the folk at the BPI when their way to stop
piracy was to try and make CD-WOW put UP the price of a CD. Now that is plan
stupid.

Hi,

Have I been incredibly devious here? I wasn't trying to defeat the copy
protection, just watch it in action.


My experience is that the copy protection doesn't work. All it achieves is
making the CD unplayable on many (usually high end) CD players. However, if
you rip the tracks ('cos the protection doen't work) and burn your own CD,
that plays perfectly.

Have a look at http://ukcdr.org/ for more blurb, including a list of
"affected" CDs.

Roy.
