[Adul]

bump.

This is philips going after the recording industry for introducing noise into our audio cds

 

[teckmaster]

I believe you mean "poised" and "labels".

 

[LuNoTiCK]

Good, those stupid record labels and all their protection.

<< The Fast and the Furious -- More Music, already ships with a warning sticker on its backside, a pamphlet about copy protection inside, and an offer to return the disk if it doesn't play. >>

So I can buy it, record it an alternative way, and return it? Cool

 

[Adul]

or save yourself the trouble.

 

[gopunk]

holy crap, i have found a new favorite brand.... that is so cool that they're taking a stand like that

<< or save yourself the trouble. >>

Yeah that soundtrack is probably ass anyway.

 

[Kev]

what's the point? the pros who rip and release mp3's will definitely find a way around this, and then they will be available for download anyway. so all they're gonna do is lose money on this. what a bunch of friggin idiots.

Not to mention the abridgement of my consumer right to get the most out of my purchase by allowing me to store and play it as an MP3 on my PC and to play it in my car by way of my portable MP3 player

because it violates the standards. it's like if you called yourself an authorized sony dealer, but you really weren't.
