I got me another complaint

The last CD I bought was the Kings of Leon new album. Guess what came with the CD. I nice little computer program that prevents me from transfering the CD onto my iPod. I am fucking pissed! I bought a music CD that should be mine to do with as I please, you know, like the 200 music CD's I bought before that? I've admitted that internet music piracy is probably wrong and I don't do it anymore. But goddamnit, to make a freind a copy of my CD's? Or to listen to that CD on whatever device will play them, shouldn't be able to do that little fucking thing? So now I have this totally fucking useless CD that I paid too much for to begin with. If I want to listen to the music on my current player, i have to re-buy it from itunes. FUCK THAT. Are we past the days of buying a CD you've heard good things about and then finding the really ggod track that no one knows about? Hell half my collection is tracks like that.
I'm telling you people corporate America is bending us over and screwing us with no lube and our pants on. Kings of Leon was the LAST CD I'll ever buy! Take that your greedy fucks! Steve Jobs is only greedy fuck thats getting my music money now.

That blows. I feel like the record industry has screwed us long enough with their overpriced CDs and now this. Maybe they don't realize how many people have iPods that want to use them. Also, shouldn't buying records from iTunes be cheaper since there is no physical product? Well, it sometimes is a little bit, but not always. I call Bullshit. You need to lead the revolution.

full albums from itunes cost 9.99 while the best price you can find for a CD is 13.99 usually so it is a little cheaper. I went to the BMG website support page and it had this scathing indictment about apple not supporting secure CD's. Apple's leading a musical format revolution and these guys are still in the vinyl era.

You need to look up that CD on Amazon and read the customer reviews. I guess that protection software opens up your computer to viruses if you use the CD in your computer. Most of the CDs with that software are being recalled. If you do not have really good anti-virus protection that is currently updated you may have some problems.

Thanks for the heads up. Lauri passed on your message. I looked into it and it seems that my anti-spyware program now recognizes the problem and has hopefully removed it. Also, I think sony will be coming out with an uninstall program soon, so if its still a problem I can use that.
