Wow, that was quick! Let's see what happens next!

Why can't I play CDs on my DVD player? I though that was one of the features that boosted the DVD players in the first place! Bloodsuckers!

Its fun to see the music industry scramble to get around music sharing. :) You go girl-from-CA!

Haha, suckers! Hooray for the Cali girl! Why the hell wouldn't they allow it's use in a DVD player??? Whatever, there's always a way around this, from cracked firmwares and mod-chips for the players themselves, to simply recording the music via analog (Oh well, not like the loss is all THAT big anyway, as long as you have a decent setup) or digital inputs.

I say phooey to the bastards!

The most upsetting thing in all this is the way some copy-protection schemes go against the interests of the companie that back them up... don't various departments of one company know what each other is doing? How is it possible for Sony, for instance, to support copy-protection, if that is going to seriously hamper its MiniDisc (and what a fight it was for Sony to make the MD take off in the States and Europe... it took several years and two official launches!)

How is it possible to aim for perfect purity in sound, make exquisite equipment, like Arcam Alpha, or Sony (ES class), and so on, then introduce errorrs in the music, which will definitely be ruining the quality?

Truly, greed has no limits. And neither does stupidity. Nietzsche was right!
