There's tremendous news for those

There's tremendous news for those of us irritated by the music industry's heavy-handed attempts to prevent music piracy. Technology incorporated into Natalie Imbruglia's latest CD has provoked a storm of protest. The technology inserts flaws into the data on the CD, which means that the more sensitive CD players in computers will not be able to play the disk - although ordinary hi-fi machines should be OK. The trouble is, they're not - and now Imbruglia's record label is having to issue replacement CDs, and have a rethink. Perhaps they will consider, next time, the users who have a perfectly legitimate desire to play CDs in their machines as they work, or who want (again, within the law) to make an MP3 copy for their own use. And the chaps over at NTK have made a few interesting points too...
