Re: [luau] NEWS: New Copyprotected CD's destroy iMacs

Basically this type of copy protection is like the old PC software copy protection schemes of yesteryear.  Basically the industry had to give it up because it caused so many problems.  My guess is people will avoid buying music and games that are on the copy protected CD's.  In the end the record companies will sell less copies than if the disks could be freely copied.

Apple.  You lost a customer.

How are they pandering to the content industry?  

Their warranty clause might pave the way for a class-action suit on behalf of Mac Users against the RIAA.  Repairs are expensive, and someone has to pay...
