Window shut in your face!

Is this the end of cd ripping?

Massive Attacks 100th Window is copyright protected to the
max.
You can't rip it.

Maybe most albums will have this "feature" soon.This will
bring an end to mp3 ect.
Therefore the artists/lables make more money.More money =
more quallity albums ect.

IMO This is a good thing.

of course its not a good thing

but it wont matter, caus if you can play a cd you can copy
it

so its rather pointless to protect cds

You can always rip it the analog way, I guess...

Yeah you can rip it the analog way,then rip the cd-r,but
then the quallity is shite.

hm, well, theoretically you can still record the output. if
you do that digitally then you'll probably have a perfect
copy. it would be harder to find it illigally though.
anyway, the copy protection will probably be cracked soon
methinks.

I still record my music the analog way,.straight to a cd
audio recorder. The quality is actually pretty good.

It's more time consuming tho,......speaking about the
protection,...is there more info about it? Like previous
attempts failed miserably by the use of a simple piece of
tape on the edges of the cd

yeah theres a crack to everything

good idea, you mean the digital out on cd players? the red
eye?
that would make a perfect copy

It may have something to do with a 10 minute long loop at
the end...
Something encoded in there,I don't know i'm not very
technologicaly minded.

technically thats against the law in the U.S I think. (the
copy protected cd that is)... you buy the cd you own that
copy, you can make copies of it for personal use. However in
the UK you're not actually allowed to copy stuff (not even
for a tape in the car or anything like that - in fact,
you're only, legally, supposed to watch stuff you video off
TV once)... the laws are all a bit all over the place still.
I guess this whole mp3/Napster(and it's spin-offs)/cd
protection affair will have to be sorted out soon...

well

imo, if you just open the thing with nero or something, and
just save the files everything would be ok

but i havent got the cd here to try it out

In England,only people who paid for the album is supposed to
hear it.
So we're not suppossed to let our friends listen..

But like you said the laws a little loose.

hahaha

so when your friends come over and your playing a cd they
have to put grass in their ears?

laws can be idiotic sometimes

morre quality album's... you mean morre money to pump into
shit bands like Westlife, and morre albums off them and so
morre shit albums.
people like Radiohead make amazing albums but thats not down
to money its down to talent, Radiohead welcome file sharring
so people can hearr therre music and go and buy the albums
if they like it.
these new anti-rripping things SUCK, fucking grready
rrecorrd companys.

man you speak my language...

i think music should develop out of devotion to music
itself, not devotion to earning cash trough music

Radiohead will make albums even if they got paid a penny
each, Westlife won't.

You have a point.

Maybe its not such a good idea then.

BTW .Theres a line on the 100th window cd near the end of
the cd,it circles the whole disk,I belive this is the
protection band.

*cuts out strip from cd disk*

It doesn't work if you cut the strip of the disk.It only
ruins the cd,and you get brandished an idiot on the
messageboard.

You have the American version,its not protected because
thats illegal in the U.S.
See Blrr's post.

there is always a way of copying it, as long as you can play
it in a radio you can play it in a cd-rom drive - if you use
a driver that does not get confused by the actual
protection. such drivers can be dld at gamecopyworld usually
a few weeks before the protection is out.

even the famous pencil-trick is unnecessary if you dl a new
version of iosubsys.dll

there's always and ALWAYS will be a way to duplicate. don't
sweat it. The chances are, that all the labels that are
doing the copy guard shite are most likey the owners of crap
bands anyway(major labels). The original music lies in the
independent labels which praise file sharing to begin with.
..and if you're into the BIG BIG names, there's still ways
of getting it into duplicated digital form. Aside from all
of the heresay plugins that will rip guarde stuff, every
deck has an output. As long as it's a direct signal into
your puter through a middle of the line sound card, you have
nothing to worry about. Just educate yourself with studio
programs...it's easy.
