Recording Industry Hopes To Hinder CD Burning 869
Decaffeinated Jedi writes "News.com reports that the recording industry is currently testing technology that would limit the number of times that a given CD (or copies of that CD) could be burned. The idea is to let consumers 'make a limited number of copies of their music -- enough for a car, a vacation home and a friend, for example -- without allowing for uncontrolled duplication.' Currently, Macrovision and SunnComm International are developing competing versions of such 'secure burning' technology, with BMG Music Group already testing the latter company's software."

I haven't purchased a music CD in years and years and I don't plan to while this is going on. I am increasingly firm on this position since I was reminded of the problems of copy (playback) protection used on the latest generation of defective CDs when a friend in Japan bought a Janet Jackson CD and couldn't play it in her car without excessive skipping. I explained to her what the problem is and that she should return the CD for refund and wrote to the CD publisher.

Too late, they've already done it. This would explain why music sales dropped through the floor when all the good bands stopped getting radio time, replaced with this garbage we have now.

Coming soon from the RIAA: Music you can't listen to! You know that special feeling you get when you buy a new CD, and the anticipation you feel before you've even had a chance to listen to it? Well, now you can get that same satisfaction all the time by simple purchasing the CD and putting it in your closet. Just knowing it's there should fill your heart with warm fuzzies.
