I bought myself the new (in Germany at least) Kosheen maxi "Hungry", but thanks to paranoid publishers, I am cursed with their copy protection, making it impossible for me to record the tracks on the CD to mp3. Are CDs in the UK copy protected as well ? If not, I would order my CDs from the UK from now on...
The big record companies (such as BMG) are starting to put copy protection on all CDs, which means they won't play in many portable and car CD players. This is an acceptable fault apparently, since it stops piracy, so it's ok to stop genuine listeners who've paid for it from listening to their own damn album. I doubt UK CDs will be different. jon (who's disgusted with the way digital rights management is going) -- "ABROAD, adj. At war with savages and idiots.
