"'Sony BMG and EMI to Kill Mix CDs With Their Anti-Piracy Hatchet, Compatibility Issues with iPod'
Listen to this, dude. I've got something that will totally flip your lid. You know how sometimes you buy a CD and you like, ya know, get real excited about it because it's something that you're totally diggin' on? And then you want to, like, share the love and shit and you rip those tracks onto your computer and throw in a blank CD-R and burn a couple off to give to your friends because you know they'll totally dig it too? Or how sometimes you want the perfect soundtrack for burnin' a few bowls with friends on a summer night and you want to make a mix CD of all the best songs to chill out to? Well take a seat bro, because those corporate assholes at Sony BMG and EMI are trying to take away that right, man!
According to Billboard, Sony BMG has quietly slipped about a million discs by 10 different artists -- whom they won't name -- into the market featuring anti-piracy technology from some United Kingdom company called First4Internet. This new technology totally stops you from making more than a few copies of a disc, and it also stops your friend from making a copy of his copy. They call it "sterile burning." I call it a total bummer! And this is just the beginning, man. More of Sony BMG's partners are beginning commercial trials of similar technology within the month, and since there has been no obvious backlash (YET), Sony BMG announced that it will extend this security to all of its American releases by the end of the year.
But Sony BMG is not the only conglomerate putting its foot down. According to Digital Music News, EMI is also cracking down on "casual piracy." Within the next few weeks, EMI releases will also include restrictive technology on piracy. Developed by DRM solutions firm Macrovision, the technology allows CD owners to copy only three copies of a CD's songs, and similar to Sony BMG's "sterile burning," those burned copies cannot be duplicated.
However, this increased CD protection comes at a big cost. Any CD released by Sony BMG or EMI with this protection cannot be transferred to the ever-so popular iPod. In an age of iPod-mania, this could result in a huge backlash once the happy-go-lucky public finds out about this tight security control. In fact, this is precisely the reason why both Universal Music Group and Warner Music Group have yet to dive into the murky depths of CD protection.
These suits consider this to be, like, one of the most important developments in copyright protection. So like, what's all the huffin' and puffin' about file-sharing networks all about then? If two-thirds of all piracy comes from ripping and burning CDs, then why aren't they making a big stink about it? Instead, they put up all this smoke and mirrors bullshit about file-sharing while they quietly slip some of these "sterile burn" CDs into the marketplace without tellin' anyone. I mean, it's like they want to piss off the very people that are actually buying the CDs. One day you'll be tryin' to make a mix CD and your computer won't let you and you'll get all pissed and start punching your computer because you don't know what the hell is going on. I'm tellin' ya man, something stinks! But if Sony BMG and EMI actually think that these new protective measures are going to stop piracy, they better think again. Though there might be some confusion/frustration at first, things will get right back on the piracy track once another digtal (or even analog) technique of piracy hits the Internet-savvy public.
Fuck it, just stick with independent music and you'll be just fine."
That said, I'm glad I'm no longer the only person who's pissed off about this shit. Sorry that this fate befell you, corianderstem.
Unwritten and These Arms are just 
and I Bruise Easily is pretty good for a pop ballad.
