COPYCENSE

“I was in a record store here in Austin, and I saw the CD of a band I’ve been hearing on XM and net radio stations that I’ve been wanting to check out. I was looking at it, flipped it over, and was presented with a compatibility notice detailing the restrictions caused by the CD’s DRM.

“Although none of this would have been a problem for me, I still didn’t buy the CD — I’ve got no interest in making a record label think that, as a consumer, I think that sort of thing is ok, because it’s not. It’s just stupid.”
