i say we all get some guns and solve this problem on our own. we could form our own resistance army or something.

How about you get the roses and I'll get the guns. I kill them, you place a rose on their coffin.

If what they say is true, that it installs something on your computer, then doesn't it count as spyware/adaware?

Lavasoft needs to upgrade their reference files again ;)

I consider this news article a joke because it's like saying, Britney Spears is in the number one spot because people like dumb blond bitches.

I'm with you on that djscoop.

Do not buy this CD or go to shows.Tell eveyone you know.I think this band is amazing.It sucks they could be involved in this kind of B.S.If this band has the kind of balls the claim to have.They will stand up to this insanity.This seems more like something Axl would have gone for.Not these guys.

Any ideas on who Bush will make Copy Czar?Seems like a logical next move.Since,MPAA,RIA seem to have the government in their corners.Look at 321.It is stilll agov 4 the people,by the people.I wonder how much money the Industry has wasted on copy protect?Starting to resemble the drug war.There's irony in action,on many levels.

does anybody know if there's a list of other CDs coming out (or already out) that are going to be copyrighted? that way we can start boycotting them before they come out, not after.

well just to screw with them, go and download this one. :)- its an amazing album, and i didnt buy it :)

where'd you get it from? every song I've DL'd from that album is corrupted or something else

"MediaMax isn't actually a copy protection at all. When you insert an MediaMax protected CD in a Windows or Max OS X computer it will automatically install a device driver on your computer, which detects when audio CDs are being ripped, and distorts the audio".Does this mean any cd or just the one with protection?Does any one out ther own this cd that can attest?If you do,does it ask you at any point to accept?Starting to think I may have misunderstood.Oops!

Designed to stop the kazzaa users, because that's all it will do Lol.

Dear sid;
Could you please explain?Do you own it?etc...

There is nothing in the article that talks about put a "signature" or something on the songs if you rip them so, it won't stop it from getting shared on kazaa

Huhm... I´m currently in a hectic debate with myself over if it´s worth paying 39 euros to (maybe) go see them live. I really like their music, but is a show which I might, or might not, get into worth 39 euros?

I think a band is only worth supporting if you like their music AND like what they stand for. In this case, I like the band, but I don't like them letting the RIAA walk all over their album. So for me, I won't be buying their CD or going to their concerts until they stick up for themselves. If they support this cd copy protection scam, then shame on them. They're worse than Axl's dred locks.

Here here.Those are braided extentions,not dreds.Don't spend any money on this band!This is the only way to stand up.

Actually all the big recording companies use a copy protection in their CDs nowadays, I don't understand why you blame the band for that.

This does not sound like run of the mill protection.

its not like the guys asked the RIAA to put this protection on, the record company probobly didnt even tell them about it. i mean once the company buys the rights to the music they can do whatever they want to the cd. its not there fault at all.

I don't think I've bought a single RIAA supported CD or been to a concert since they started this crap. For the old music that was already licensed by a band its not their fault. Anything new a band puts out under copy protectection, screw em I would download their songs under annon. IP if they put out anything worth my time before I'd by a frigged CD.

A band with the hottest album in the country has plenty of pull.To help stop this kinda crap.A band is ultimatly responsible for its product.At least to its fan base.Sounds like some of you like to take things lying down.Stand up!

sounds like some of you are taking this too seriously and directing your anger toward the wrong people...

I agree. It's a bloody copy protection, I believe that ALL CDs coming from the big companies have a copy protection, I don't know how this one could be different.

Saying that you buy a CD considering if it's copy protected or not is bullshit. You should judge the music. BTW, most artists think that copy protection should be there, as they do not want you to hear to their music without them being paid. I don't care if you like this or not but I believe that an artist should live from his music, and to do that he needs to sell CDs. If his company tells him that he will sell more using a copy protection (which is true, as more people do not have the knowledge to break the protection and burn the CD for their friend) they will do it. (The truth is that they are not asked about that).

Just for the end I want to say that I do not support RIAA, I believe that copy protections are shit because they won't let you copy the CD for legal use, but this band is great and it's not worth judging them for the copy protection thing instead of their music.

i take back what i said about this being an "amazing" album. i downloaded it to see all the hype, and there are SOME good songs on it (like illegal i song) but about 2/3 of the cd is garbage...

i said it was amazing after only hearing the first 4 songs...

Which of your rights do you allow to be trampled on daily?My guess is alot.NO anger just thoughts.Have agreat day.

My question here is, does the disc tell you in anyway that it will be installing this copy protection software onto your system? If not, would that not be considered a type of virus and therefore be illegal to market commercially? Does anyone else think that maybe this might be just a little bit illegal?

Stepping off my soap box now....thank you

P2P Rules!!!!!

i dunno, i dont have the physical cd
