Music Industry SUED for Antipiracy Protections
« on: 5 January 2004, 18:33 »
A European consumer watchdog body is suing the world's largest music companies for selling music CDs with so much new anti-piracy technology that they won't even play in standard players like in your car stereo in even in the goddam computer.

This is good news for consumers, and will be even better news for fair use freedom if they win. Otherwise, pretty soon the RIAA is gonna try to shove more antipiracy measures up everyones ass than actual music per CD.

I can see it now.
"We could only fit 3 songs on one CD because of all the copy-protection, so we had to use 4 CDs."
