Record Labels Want to Stop Copies of Burns
Posted by Jason Dunn in "NEWS" @ 07:00 PM
"Tools under review by the major labels would limit the number of backups that could be made from ordinary compact discs and prevent copied, or "burned," versions from being used to create further copies, according to Macrovision and SunnComm International, rivals that are developing competing versions of the digital rights management (DRM) software."
I initially did my eye-rolling :roll: and muttering when I read this article, but the more I think about it, the more I think it's actually a reasonable stance. If they're saying that you shouldn't be able to make a copy of a copy, I think that's reasonable. If I made a copy of a CD for my wife to put in her car because she scratches up the originals, I wouldn't mind that someone couldn't take that copy and make another copy of it. What do you think about this?
