When are Sony and all the other music distributors going to wake up to the fact that their antiquated music distribution model has come to an end. Charging £10 or so for a music CD is bound to end in piracy. As this thread shows, people will find a way round any copy protection.

Come on Sony, the world has moved on. Get over it.

This is in no way intended to encourage piracy, which is theft. However, Sony are also playing dirty, as I am quite entitled to back up a music CD for my own, or my families / friends use.

The ultimate weapon is in our own hands. We should refuse to buy all copy-protected CD's. Sony would soon stop when they saw their sales take a nose dive!

Rant over.
