there protectin there music. i agree with what there doin in a way. they just gotta find a less lethal protection technicque.

what the hell? that is not protecting their rights? it's taking the rights of others... You cant force a program in someone's computer...

That is, in a way, what piracy is...

 

[Skillz]

If its installed alongside another program in the background then i am 90% sure its illegal...

So long as they tell you about it either with a full page sayin what it is and what it does or a small ass check box then its legal becuase they have told you they are installing it...

 

[Craig Gantt]

isnt Columbia the urban division of Sony? Does that mean my Nas cd's have been fuckin up my computer?

 

[Vince]

depends...i only think this applies to new records.

yeh i think its only ones that have something written about copy protection or something on the cover. I mean it warns about copy protection but its doesnt tell you how they do it and it doesnt ask your permission to install the software, and the worst thing is that they are hurting paying customers, after all of that they achieved nothing that stopped their stuff being distributed
