New Sony CDs thwart file sharing

“Sony Music, home to such artists as Beyonce Knowles and Bruce Springsteen, said Monday it plans to introduce new CD technology in Germany that prevents users from copying songs to file-sharing sites, but allows them to make copies for their personal use.”

Here we go again. I imagine I’ll be posting something in a few days about how some guy in his dorm room figured out how to bypass this.

Be sure to read the last paragraph for a good laugh. “Trusting the consumer,” and “providing good value” - uh, maybe if you just sold unprotected CDs for $5.99 people would just buy the CDs and avoid the hassle? Just a thought.
