CS2CD used our newssubmit to tell us that a woman called Karen DeLise sued Music City Records, Fahrenheit Entertainment and digital rights management company Sunncomm and won the case.
The woman sued the companies because they tracked personal information when someone was playing a CD protected by Sunncoms copy protection and connected to the internet.
Attorneys for DeLise said the companies have agreed to stop tracking personally identifiable information of listeners, to purge their files of such information, and to warn consumers that the CD doesn't work in DVD players, MP3 players or CD-ROM players. |
In recent years, entertainment companies have increased their efforts to shackle music so that free copies of songs will not spread willy-nilly across the Web as they did in the glory days of song-swapping site Napster.
However, some customers and consumer groups have protested the moves, saying they illegally restrict those who have no intention of breaking the law.
So they will now also need to make clear their CD's are copy protected and therefor will be easier to recognize.
If you are looking for a solution to bypass these protections (legally) you can use the search function on our forum, and you will find your answer...
