Yes, there is a way to protect CD-s from being read in PCs, and it is probbably on that CD.

If it won't play in your PC it has to say so on the CD case.

Acording to RIAA, this is a protected CD, so it shouldn't be able to play on your PC. I won't buy the soundtrack, because the time I spend listening to the most music is from my laptop at work.

Mr N8, do you know where the list of protected CD's is? I for one will not buy any of these CD's as I feel it violates fair use. castlef you should be able to return the CD as it is not fully functional or if you really want it you will have to settle for not being able to play it on your computer.
Or you can modify your CD http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/54/25274.html http://www.wired.com/news/technology...,52665,00.html http://www.vnunet.com/News/1131719 Last edited by Trent Steel; 01-21-2003 at 06:31 AM. |

I saw on somewhere a while back a story where sony started using this protection, on a celine dion cd or something. Anyway the story was about how a guy took a sharpie and drew a ring around the edge of the cd and it played fine in his computer. Basically the system they used was similar to a corrupt file as the first track so that the computer will try to read it and won't go to the next track. I thought it was rather humorous that Sony had put all this time and money into protecting their cd's and some guy with a 99cent sharpie cracked it in about a minute.
Heres the one about getting around the copy protection http://www.kaos2000.net/archives/fro...nyblunder.html |
