copy protection = poopoo

has anyone had the chance to experience the sonic "wonders"
of the copy protection technology currently being utilized
in instances of high profile releases such as Massive
Attack's '100th Window' & Radiohead's 'Hail To The Thief'?

In my case, I discovered that two copies in a row of 'HTTT'
were ridden with pops, glitches and skips (and i'm not
talking just about the electronic production here, folks!).

i guess EMI anticipated that this may pose a problem, since
there is a quality control e-mail address provided at the
back of the CD, and i've already vented my anger over this
state of affairs.

so the question is, is the copy protection technology
equivalent with fecal matter for ruining teh sound quality
of CDs?

allow me to quote slug:
"fuck the major label 'til it limps. put your deal upon our
table and we'll show you who's the pimp!"

people will buy if they want to support, people will pirate
if they want to pirate..the only thing that they are really
stopping is legitimate owners of the album from making
legitimate copies of the album or making legitimate digital
copies for their computers/mp3 players/etc..

I suppose an artist could upload his/her tracks to an
internet as hi fi streaming only... and then only
give a password that accesses being able to hear them to
people who send you a paypal of say 5 dollars. This would
force people to pay, however it wouldn't stop someone from
recording your track with a microphone and pirating
that even though it would generate white noise (which
is removable with programs anyway).

players
