Digital Encoding II

I was at Best Buy and I decided to look at the Velvet Revolver CD mentioned in a previous post. Sure enough, a sticker on the case tells you that there is special encoding and gives you this site for questions. Reading over the site is unbelievable. I can't believe that these people are getting away with. You have to connect to the internet and let your computer download certain "data keys" to unlock your CD. Worse yet, Apple iPod is not supported and the site actually blames Apple for the problem because they don't use Windows encoding. They have the audacity to put up a link to Apple and encouraging readers to email Apple and tell them how displeased they are.



So BMG goes along with this ridiculous encoding idea and has the nerve to tell people to be mad at Apple? I really hope that people don't just sit by and take this. It's completely unacceptable. There are any number of legitimate ways to ensure that music isn't stolen, requiring people to let you pry into their hardware should never be one.
