Off Topic: Apple Addresses Problems With Copy-Protected CDs In AppleCare Support
Posted by Philipp Esselbach on: 05/13/2002 02:50 PM [ Print | 0 comment(s) ]
Thanks DosFreak for this one:
Apple has released a new article in the AppleCare Support database that discusses problems associated with copy protected music disks. Apple goes so far as to expressly say that copy protected disks are not CDs, though they resemble them. These copy protected disks carry the warning : Will not play on PC/Mac, and are an attempt by the record labels to curtail piracy by preventing you from copying your CDs, even for your own legitimate use under Fair Use doctrines. According to the article, some Mac users are finding that these disks will actually crash their Macs.
