New CD Protection From Sony
« on: May 31, 2005, 09:08:52 pm »

If you have problems ripping a CD, check to see if it is a newer Sony issue.

"Sony BMG has begun to wrap a new digital rights management (DRM) scheme onto select CDs. The copy-protection technology, developed by UK-based anti-piracy specialist First4Internet, has shipped with 1 million discs since March.
The solution provided by First4Internet deploys Windows Media Audio (WMA) on discs to allow three primary copies in a process Sony refers to as "sterile burning." Because of the DRM, this "sterile" backup copy cannot be duplicated."

Nah, apparently the Black Sharpie works just fine.

That, and if you put any CD in your computer with Autoplay enabled, you really get what you deserve in my opinion.  I like to tell the computer what to do, not the other way around.
