Subject: OT: Buyer Beware! "copy protected CDs".


A friend just passed this info along and I felt strongly enough about it to
pass it along to everyone because I detest anything that crashes computers
and wanted to make everyone aware of this new stupidity.

Basically, the "CD"s listed will not only not play, but they can crash your
computer and cause damage. I understand that record companies don't want
songs being ripped, but the only CD player I use is in my computer. Some
companies just amaze me with their stupidity. Their form of copy protection
is just not the way to go.
At least Philips is taking the more consumer friendly approach.
