What I do is ask the shopkeeper "Is this a AUDIO CD", if they say yes
and its one of those broken copy protected heaps of shite CD's, then
complain to everyone you can think of because its "ILLEGAL" to sell copy
protected CD's as AUDIO CD'S because Philips have defined the format as
NOT being copy protected CD's.
In Europe this created such a stink the CD's has to be removed of the
shelves and clearly re-labelled. This reminds me of iTunes songs and how
some buyers are now realising they now have "worthless" files with a
"limited" life license. Many people rip out the DRM stuff but they don't
realise that it's illegal to do so and nulls their original license
making them no better than the people using p2p as far as music Nazi's
are concerned.
