"If you plan to continue protesting about future audio media releases with copy protection, forget it; copy protection is a reality, and within a matter of months more or less all audio media worldwide are copy protected. And this is a good thing for the music industry. In order to make this happen we will do anything within our power - whether you like it or not."
Regards,

New Re: An even better one: EMI
There are 250 Million blank CDRs and tapes bought and used this year for copying music in comparison to 213 Million prerecorded audio media. This means the owners are only being paid for 46 per cent of the musical content.

Don't know about y'all, but of the hundred or so CDRs I've burned, only 2 were music, the rest were data such as family photos. On top of that, the 2 music CDs were legal compilations of music I'd purchased.

New Besides... those people get money for those blanks
At least they do here in Canada... there are surcharges on blank media so the oligopolists can keep the money tap on.

New Christian, translation check please?
Could you check the original and the Register's translation of it and verify they got the flavor of it right? Thanks.
