rik: "Now, in the most bizarre turn yet in the record industry's piracy struggles, stars Dave Matthews Band, Foo Fighters and Switchfoot -- and even Sony BMG, when the label gets complaints -- are telling fans how they can beat the system."
rik: "The bad thing is that you are almost promoting what you are trying to protect against. You are upsetting the fan that went out and purchased the record." -- Jason Brown, whose agency represents an artist whose album in among those in copy-protection suit.
rik: HELLO MUSIC INDUSTRY. WAKE UP AND SMELL THE SILICON. YOU'RE LOSING. THE PEOPLE YOU'RE TRYING TO LOOK LIKE YOU'RE PROTECTING ARE REBELLING.
bismark: eg, see this thread on the Foo Fighters' page
bismark: "They should invest making CDs cheaper."
bismark: I wouldn't call hosting a forum where people discuss copy protection 'telling them how to get around copy protection". Anyone have links to actual artists actually telling people how to bypass the DRM? as the article says ...
bismark: (c) copyright. you may not discuss or read this.
