CDs Incompatible with iPods Still Sell Well
Posted by Chris Gohlke in "CONTENT" @ 01:00 PM
"Recent CDs by Foo Fighters and Dave Matthews Band containing new anti-piracy technology are selling well despite a backlash among some fans angry that the discs are incompatible with iPods, experts said on Thursday. Aiming to curb piracy, labels like Sony BMG, which released both records, are rolling out copy-protected albums in the United States, which let users make three exact duplicates of a CD, and store files on a PC in Microsoft Corp.’s Windows Media format."
Amazing, its almost as if a bunch of executives sat down and said, hey, how can we continue to further alienate our customers. Hopefully these CDs at least have a visible disclosure on the package to give the user some warning before they make a purchase.
