If only someone could write one of these for PocketPC/Palm – then we could check CDs while we are in the store itself!

This is for entertainment purposes only

What if, someone took a DRM-crippled CD, shift-keyed and ripped it, and then took a bunch of el cheapo “free after rebate” CD-Rs, burned a bunch of copies, and then left them lying around, one at a time, in public places? Besides the P2P sneakernet, it would really get the point across.

OK, then add a per country option.

“I will pledge to never purchase a CD contaning any form of Digital Rights Management (DRM)…”

I pledge to bypass copy protection technologies, because there will always be a way around it. Power to the people, baby!

Couldn’t someone programm something like the riaa-radar, allowing you to check whether a CD is DRM-crippled or not before buying / ordering it ?

If properly promoted, such a site could become a weapon of mass destruction against DRMs.

And I would like to add that if you do already have a DRM CD, it is your duty as a filesharer to rip it to a safe format such as mp3 format for your peers and then to share it, so that others may avoid the poison.
