Crap in, crap out.

I avoid crap copy protected DVD's from the likes of Sony et al, as much as possible.

But then again, much of new music has not been interesting me much anyways. I just love picking up more obscure bargains on eBay lately.

The disc includes a "Player" which installs copy protection, so that you are unable to copy the disc.

Hold down the shift key, or disable auto run.

If you've already installed it run the "uninstaller" for the "player" on the disc.

I bought a Maroon 5 CD that I believe has CP. My NEC DVD burner won't even read it. I've downloaded a few rips of it, and not only does it have CP, it sounds like the engineer was on crack. All of the defects you can hear in the rip are obvious on a normal CDP, too.
