Default CD copy protection

just buy it then take it back saying its a faulty disc if it won't play

those in power will soon get the message

I think it's incorrect to call these cd-like discs copy protected.

Read
protected is more accurate.

It's a very strange situation - the only (legal) way for me to listen

to
HTTT without clicks is to buy the cd, then throw it away and download

the
mp3/ogg.

Exactly how, in the eyes of the copyright cops, would what you
suggest be legal?
Surely, you would have to keep the CD as proof even if you never
actually played it.

Humm, that could be interesting - buy the CD, don't break the
cellophane, download the album from the Internet, wave two fingers at
the RIAA.
