F*ck copy protection !

Hello,
i'm pissed, I bought your album , like I said I would.
I like it alot. But it pisses me off that due to copy protection it won't play in my car radio !!

that's 16 EUR for an unplayable album?

Luckily copy protection sucks I can still rip the album to put it on my iPod. (just using the plain standardprograms on my Mac (iTunes))
BTW this is the first album i buy which is copy protected

So the copy protection is useless, just a big hassle (can't play in car stereo, but you can rip ???).

please tell your record company to stop this.
I certainly won't buy another CD which is "copy-protected"

yeha, copy protection blows.

Student who revealed CD copying secret could be sued

Funny, mine plays fine in my car cd player...go figure.

At least you can burn a copy and play the burned copy in your car.

it is a pain, yeah. get this: it plays in itunes on my powerbook, but not in itunes on my g4 desktop. what the hell?

luckily there's a cd player in the same room as my desktop, but it is pretty annoying.
