Really? Jeez, I didn't know that you couldn't play them on the computer cd player anymore. Since I mostly listen to old jazz or blues or my own stuff, I haven't yet experienced this. So Are they also saying I couldn't burn CD's of my own music (music that I recorded at home)? Meaning anyone who burns a CD is in violation? Candace K.

I have to rip them with EAC just to listen to CD's I buy. So I'm forced to violate the DMCA... -- jon mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Tuesday, December 3, 2002, 8:40:36 AM, you wrote: CC> I think that this act is definitely over the top, but as far as CC> downloading music you didn't buy, I have to agree with it.
