Musical McCarthyism, that’s what it is. Why don’t the internet users get a class-action suit or restraining order against this? The internet was founded upon sharing information. The creators have a right to encode their creations any way that they want to, and we have a right to try to decode them. Unless you are actively churning out CDs for sale, let it be. If you want to recoup some money for the artists, levy a small tax on digital media, then let the artists collect that. Something like Canada does. Digital media is so cheap, this would make sense from a utilitarian perspective. And let the artists, not the government, collect it. Then you might have different groups of artists sponsor each brand of CDs. So if you like Coldplay, you could buy Coldtech CDs. It’s way better than extortion!
