 i didn't buy 100th Window by Massive Attack when it came  out some time ago because it had copy-protection (no logo,  but some text on the back of the jewel case made it clear it  had some)...
 
  ...some days ago i seen 100th Window on sale at the shop  (8.99€), and i don't know why, i looked at the back of the  case again. and the text on the back of the text had changed  and didn't mention any copy-protection anymore.
 
  did they remove the copy-protection from it (which would be  a good idea), or just don't mention the copy-protection  anymore (which would be a vile idea)??

that wouldnt make much sense either.. maybe they did a  repress or something without the copy protection.

I think Virgin disconitued making copy-protected cds, maybe  that's the reason you spotted this unprotected edition. 
 
  All copyprotected records has to be labelled as one. It is  no cd, and some rule of marketing makes it illegal to have  the Compact Disc - Digital Audio logo on the cover. So if  you are in doubt, look for that logo (or absence of logo)

Note that not all cds have that logo, even though they are  unprotected :)

Copy protection is a farce. It is always possible to  circumnavigate and simply inconveniances legit users. I've  seen licensed autocad users make hacks so they don't need  the dongle. Meanwhile, pirates don't have to put up with  it.
 
  Look at windows XP. I specifically didn't buy a licenced  copy (yes, I would of bought it otherise- I have almost all  other "home" flavors, on real media with real keys!) because  of the gay hardware related copy protection.
 
  Oracle (Database) Corporation are best- no dongles, no "must  register online" guff; There aren't even licence keys when  you install. They just have a very, very good licensing  dept. who seek out people using unlicenced copies.
 
  Copy protection is expensive to implement and never gives a  good return in terms of sales made (eg it costs money to  develop and there is no evidence to suggest it increases the  number of sales.)

I think the backlash from the ipod boom crowd would have  pretty much been too much for them to keep it up
