Looking at a copy protected CD on Amazon, the customer comments are pretty revealing about the way people feel about Sony's copy protection. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000AA305M/104-8907109-3267126?v=glance "I like David Gray, I would like to buy this cd and listen to it how and where I want to but I can't because it is copy protected so I will not be buying this or any other similarly protected cd. Can't get it on my iPod, can't play it on my Sonos. Sorry David you lost a sale. It's not your fault, it is the fault of your record distributor. If they ever come to their senses I will be first in line to buy. " "You can't fault the artist for corporate machinations. The fact that SONY BMG screwed it up is forgiveable if you know your way around a computer." "Copy Protection is a silly effort that doesn't address the real issues brought on by new technology and people who don't believe that artists deserve to make money for their work. " When will they learn? -- Nick Rout <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
