more on CD copy protection

further to sbisson's posting yesterday re BMG, an article on The Reg demonstrates quite clearly their attitude towards their potential customers.

as it happens, all the blank CDs we have used this year have been for data back up (not music), but I suppose that doesn't matter to the likes of Bertelsmann Music Group. We have lots of disks containing Linux distros, digital photos, etc, mind you, but I suppose they'd probably accuse us of lying.

I for one won't buy a bloody CD again if they're all copy protected, and I know I'm not alone.
