The German release of Aphex Twin's DrukQs was copy-protected.
Does anyone know if there's any cooperation from the CD/CD-RW manufactuers
on this trend?
Kinda silly, really, since it only hinders the 'casual pirate' (aka the
average joe) from making MP3s of a CD...the real problem-causers in the
industry (the pirates in it for the cash in countries with lax copyright
laws) still can bootleg a recording, they just have to feed it off a CD
player with a Optical Digital out to a PC or Mac with OD inputs on the
soundcard. And why is it only (seemingly) German releases? Is Germany the
piracy capital of Europe? I think not.
