Get it reported in the US that sony is making it technically illegal to use their CD's with IPods and i'm sure people will get pretty pissed pretty quickly. I'd love to see what this does to copyright laws, probably won't help things for sony that much (crosses fingers).
Sorry for the hijack, but why does everyone go straight to this being about an Ipod? Ipods are secondary.
It affects a
users of Windows PCs, which, BTW, might even use Network Walkman, made by their cousin company. What those users do with the music is
irrelavent, as long as we still have fair use.
I hope someone in the U.S. starts a lawsuit, and gets the EFF involved

. The only Sony CDs I'd be tempted to buy are too old for copy protection (I'm still missing a couple mid-90s Ozzy remasters--the '02-'03 ones are remixes).
