Like videos that have the Macrovision copyguard protection. It's only a matter of time before programs are available to override these cd's...just like with videos. Nothing will stop that from happening. I wouldn't worry too much about it actually. np: Paul McCartney "Driving Rain" ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 20 Mar 2002 16:14:31 est From: whroberts@iquest.net Subject: Re: Beware of Corrupt CDs at http://www.fatchucks.com/corruptcds There is move afoot in the U.S. Congress to stop rip-disabled CD's on the basis that they violate the fair-use law that the recording companies agreed to a few years ago. >I just saw that Sony's latest release of Basia's "greatest hits" or some >such is rip-disabled.

I thought I had one of those the other day, but it turns out it was a mixed-mode CD and I just had to make a few adjustments. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 20 Mar 2002 15:15:35 -0800 (PST) From: Leslie Brown Subject: Re: Beware of Copy Protected CDs You guys may find this very interesting, then: http://www.magicisland.com/ubb/Forum5/HTML/000663.html - --Leslie Yahoo!
