Apparently, a Celine Dion CD (Who would buy this?) has a copy protection measure that will make it unreadable by Macs/PC and could result in having the Mac go to the shop for repair.
<strong>Apparently, a Celine Dion CD (Who would buy this?) has a copy protection measure that will make it unreadable by Macs/PC...</strong><hr></blockquote>That's good news, because with a bit of luck fewer people will buy her "music". Won't stop Leonis though, I guess

Nice sarcasm.
Question for you:
If Celine liked Macs and wanted to get the protection off of her CD, you really think she couldn't do anything to convince her record company to change anything?

Oh, she probably could if she was a squeaky wheel about it. But remember: The copy protection is for PCs and Macs. Taking it off to fix the problem with Macs would leave the CD vulnerable to PC users. Also, many individual artists have very little to do with the production of the album itself, save looking at the artwork and agreeing to it. The record company could just say to her, "part of your contract includes producing the CDs with whatever copy protection we want." If she doesn't like it, she may have to find another record company. That's just speculation, though.
<strong>The copy protection is for PCs and Macs.</strong><hr></blockquote>Whoops -- my bad. I forgot it was like that for both platform. Though, I'm fairly sure I've read about ways a PC can circumvent the protection and allow the drive to access and read the disc as a normal CD player would. On a Mac, that isn't possible because of how a disc has to be mounted, IIRC.
The "copy protection" is merely bad blocks written on the CD. It will cause CD-ROMs to barf, because the CD-ROM will think the disc is bad. The solution for PC's is a Windows app called CD Paranoia. It will detect bad blocks. So, if you encounter a disc (btw, you can't legally call these things CD's - they don't meet the CDDA specification), take it to a windows box and use CD paranoia to get a perfect rip. Then make 100 copies and mail it to the record company.
<strong>One question though, who the hell buys her "art" then (apart from Leonis, that is)?
At least Mariah Carey is well built

I must confess that i have bought some years ago a CD from her 'd'eux" written by JJ Goldmann. <img src="graemlins/bugeye.gif" border="0" alt="[Skeptical]" />
Now the discussion has turn to European vs America
Anyway. My taste on songs has change very drastically in the last two years.
Has turned from pop to new age / celtic / classical stuff....still listen to american pop but not as much as before
I know that even I tell Mr. The Installer that I am grown he will still treat me like a teen who loves those teen junks <img src="graemlins/embarrassed.gif" border="0" alt="[Embarrassed]" />

But why the h*** shouldn't I be entitled to listen to all my CD's on my puter??? This is ridiculous really. When CD's first came around in the 80's the price of an LP went up because of supposed increased production costs. Of course they haven't lowered the price since then. I just think the whole fvcking music industry is being to greedy. The future of Internet broadcasting hangs in the balance because of ridiculous 'credit demands' and now they want to stop me from listening to music from the CD player of my puter as I might be making illegal copies and distributing them. Next they will try and charge of for our hearing.

It's because that Europeans PC and Mac have to be protected against Celine Dion
<strong>That is why EU is so great. It protects us from genmanipulated crops, Hormone meat and Celine Dion
