Copy-blocked CD tops U.S. charts
quote:
According to figures released by Nielsen SoundScan, Velvet Revolver's "Contraband" was the top-selling album in America last week, despite being prominently labeled on its cover as being "protected against unauthorized duplication."
The success of the album is likely to prompt more experiments from BMG, the band's label, and other record companies, industry watchers said.

And suprise, suprise, suprise, a new bill that makes the DMCA look good. Of course, it's from one of our biggest senatorial morons: Orin Hatch.
quote:
The proposal, called the Induce Act, says "whoever intentionally induces any violation" of copyright law would be legally liable for those violations, a prohibition that would effectively ban file-swapping networks like Kazaa and Morpheus. In the draft bill seen by CNET News.com, inducement is defined as "aids, abets, induces, counsels, or procures" and can be punished with civil fines and, in some circumstances, lengthy prison terms.

1. Orrin Hatch is not a moron, he's a well-paid employee of the RIAA.
2. I bet that people bought the CD because they wanted to figure out how to break it.

See, this is all it takes.
