I have returned many a cd for this reason(after copying it). That would be the exact reason why The Warehouse has a non return policy for purchased CD music. |

Not good for intended purposes.They didn't know i copied it. Just told them it wouldn't work in my computer which is my primary cd player. They quite happily refunded. and before you say that a cdrom should play in a computer, it was quite a well known fact that these cd's didn't play nicely with mac's |

I just think NZs laws regarding both copying and making backup copies are both outdated and completely irrelevant in the digital age. Drop the price of a music track to around $1 ($1.79 (17.99 album) isn't too bad compared to $29.95 for an album) so that music tracks become so cheap that pirating is nearly unnecessary - or at least not such a big deal. As for Sony and it's root kit debacle, they deserve what ever expenses they get. |

They quite happily refunded. and before you say that a cdrom should play in a computer, it was quite a well known fact that these cd's didn't play nicely with mac's That's why the official "Compact Disc - Digital Audio" logo that is normally on the 2 little rectangles in the cd insert in the case, is not there anymore, as the CD does not adhere to official red book standards, they also say that in the tray insert and yes, I recall a certain mac computer (wasn't it mac mini?) had major problems with not being able to read a certain type of protected audio CD, and refusing to eject it, and had to be taken back to the shop to get the CD removed. So to the record companies; they make CDs that: 1) Don't work in half the players, especially car cd players 2) screw up some mac computers 3) install ****ty software to windows pcs, sometimes without asking 4) even have errors put into the CD on purpose, thus making it harder to rip And then they still want us to pay $30 for that piece of crap and not be pissed off when it either doesn't work or screws up our computers, or sounds like **** from the inserted errors Funny enough though, if you DO manage to copy it and burn to CD-R, your resulting CD will be perfectly fine and play just great in practically everything. Congratulations on forcing us to copy your CDs. I hope you feel proud. |
