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'm not so sure. They're simply relying on the majority of consumers not
being affected and sod the rest.

¡Si, correcto!


Or, to put it another way, if 'audiophiles' (you know, the 'accuracy'
'mastertapes' and 'fidelity' boys) only buy the crap that is being pumped
out for Joe Arsehole then they have to put up with Joe Arsehole's standards
of 'acceptability'.....

Interestingly, the site of the company (can't find the URL now) that came
up with this copy protection technique boasts that it will 'only' cause a
1% returns rate. I suppose we can take it 1% of music buyers are either
audiophiles or tech savy.

EMI are quoting a returns rate of 0.02% which is certainly acceptable for
