why dont you just buy the mp3 at itunes?

(I agree with your point - just seems this is cheaper/easier)
Kind regards

Aparently the latest (and really crappy) Beastie Boys album doesn't even tell you that it's gonna put spyware on your computer. Someone posted about it in a message board on the net and supposedly the beastie's record company demanded the post come down (but i think the post may have been on a Beasties webpage or something). at that point, i think it's definitely perfectly alright to pirate any future beastie boys or Capitol records music as well.

Some of the copy controls only apply to Windows. There's been a few cd's that I couldn't put on my ipod due to copy protection using the Windows version of iTunes but have worked on the mac side.

Most of the cd rippers will still do the job, but its necessary to turn of autoplay first. That's when it does it's copy protection bit.

One problem, hehe.
It dont work on linux as its a windows thing.

If these cd's can't oficially be called cd's then you cannot be pirating or ripping off music as it's not an official music cd.
