06:24 - Sorry, I Already Gave 3 Friends That CD

We sure wudge the music industry, don't we? In a slick move to curb free music...
According to Billboard, Sony BMG has quietly slipped about a million discs by 10 different artists -- whom they won't name -- into the market featuring anti-piracy technology from some United Kingdom company called First4Internet. This new technology totally stops you from making more than a few copies of a disc, and it also stops your friend from making a copy of his copy. They call it "sterile burning."
I don't know that much about copyright protection law but if this part is true:
Any CD released by Sony BMG or EMI with this protection cannot be transferred to the ever-so popular iPod.
then I'm not sure any self-respecting artist would want to sign to these labels.
Here's the link.
