1. Comment - Sony Tests New Copy Protection on CDs

   (Jun 1, 2005 - 10:32 AM)

   I wonder how the artists who have signed with Sony to distribute their music feels about Sony dictating how the (prospective) purchaser of the CD may, or may not use, copy or transfer the music which is contained on the CD will considering that some may decide (like myself) simply not to buy any CD that Sony plans on selling?
   While I feel that the artist deserves the royalities due from sales of each CD, I will not tolerate a multi-million dollar company frobidding me to transfer it to a any device I chose to listen to the music I purchased, including my I-Pod, Creative Ultra, Netgear music player, or (because I scratch my CD's on a regular basis) copying the original to another CD, thus keeping the originial in prestine condition.
   Having said that, Sony can be assured that if a song is distributed by Sony that I want, I WILL add the song to my collection, which is a shame because I prefer to purchase my CD's and use them at my discretion... it is so much easier
   I hope Sony finds itself overstocked with unsold CD's, and understocked on artists, but I am sure managment at Sony will have plenty of food on their table, no matter what the ultimate price may be to their artists.
