DRM Crippled CD: A bizarre tale in 4 parts
Aside
This article on The Big Picture tells a bizarre story about DRM crippled CDs. This actually hits home for me as over the weekend I found that the new G3 – Live In Tokyo CD (Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, and John Petrucci) came out and is also DRM protected. iTunes only has the partial album – no Petrucci. Disappointing. This story is a pretty interesting read and shows how rediculous this copy protection thing is and how petty one company can be.
