^^ Hi Johnnyg0:

As it says in the story, “Yup. Itâs a spoof”. But it’s not mine, I’m sorry to say

Cheers!

Is this another of your joke-that-is-meant-to-be-believed-as-news Jon?? I’m asking because I’ve been caught spreading lies I have read here a few times.

Don’t get me wrong I love your website, but I just can’t trust it as news anymore.

Actually, this was already tried with the DIVX movies. You had to buy a code to unlock the disc and it would only play a certain amount of times.

For the music industry to actually think this through would not be too far fetched, and hence people would actually believe this to be true, because there is a good chance it could be.

Actually, I thought it was a modified version of the self destructing DVDs Disney mad a few years ago

Not if you play it in Linux or using a good CD player.
After all, it is extremely easy to get a clean kernel and generate clean init-scripts just in case I become suspicious. But I’m not a retard and won’t EVER play it under wine.

Well, it looks like they’ve already solved this problem with DRM. Now you can’t listen to it even once.

even if it were true, it would still be futile.

Garth Brooks was actually whining about this about 12 or so years ago.

He was upset that second-hand copies of his albums on CD sounded just as good as new ones, and threatened to sell all his next albums on cassette and vinyl so that people would be forced to buy all his albums brand new.

What an idiot.

how do you clean marijuana with a vinyl LP or cassette?

mine comes pre-cleaned from legal pot shops here. it might cost a little more, but it’s worth it.

anyway, i’ve just purchased an audio cassette deck pc component to re-encode all of my tapes to mp3. i’ll be damned if have to replace all of my tapes with store-bought cds.

Maybe this is the real reasoning behind their hatred of mp3’s? That a 1/4 of their revenue goes out the window when you can back it up. Hmm, apply that to DVD copy protection…. Puts a whole new spin on a very old issue.
