I have to thank my friend A.N.T for letting me know about this.. he has alot of good info ;)
Anyway.. I love Anthony Hamilton's new CD but that copyright protection nonsense makes it impossible to play the cd on my computer.. unless i'm using the program included on the cd which only allows you to 1) make 3-4 copies if you so desire 2)only play the cd using their program which only A)plays the entire cd or b) plays one track and stops..It does not allow you to skip tracks or set up your own playlist.. that sucks.. cuz i like to bypass tracks 1 and 2 somtimes.. and get straight to track3...
I sent a nasty letter in my customer survey about how stupid this new technology was and though i didn't burn often if i wanted to make a mix cd, i would be hindered in the future.
But according to this article which tested the Anthony Hamilton CD you can by-pass this technology by simply "holding down the shift key upon startup"
isn't that crazy..
John A. Halderman who figured this out.. says "the workaround is so simple that it's hard to fix." Isn't that CRAZY!
I just want to know why.. when i'm behaving myself I'm always grouped with the crowd? I rarely burn music and besides the cd was 6 bucks on sale at Circuit City the week it dropped.. My only thing if BMG was trying to prevent the cd being copied they did a bad job by ensuring that most stores in my area did not have the cd the week it dropped.. That alone had me hunting Kazaa for copies cuz i couldn't find that shit anywhere.. now that had me pissed off! I just dont see why i can't make as many copies as i want after i've put down my hard earned money down for it... hey i had to work at least a half hour to earn the money for the cd. I think i worked for it ;)
