The thing that really sucks here is that copy protection sometimes interferes with my rightful usage of the product. Seems I don't own the thing I paid good money for!
I really like to rip my music CDs to my PC so I don't have to keep swapping discs all the time, but copy protection makes it hard at times. I've got one so-called CD where the music is encoded in something my PC can't even recognize. Making a copy of the game CD or using a nocd crack so I don't have to wear out the original is also a reasonable thing, but increasingly hard today.
Do you think the real pirates have problems with this? They get around the copy protection once and start the CD press, making money on it. And all the music houses whine about it even as they continue selling music at too high prices and too low quality.
Why, back in the days... I remember how they said CDs would eventually become far cheaper than vinyl, once the initial investments were paid off. But that hasn't happened.![]()
