Reviewers at Amazon are going berserk over the release of Contraband, the new release by Velvet Revolver. Apparently, the CD won't play in PC's unless the user is connected to the internet. Early word seems to indicate that Macs run the disc without problem.
So is this just a monumental programming error or is it an attempt at digital rights protection? The music industry has gone way too far in recent years but if this is really a case of intentional encoding, this ought to go all the way to the Supreme Court. If the industry is actually trying to say that when you buy a CD you no longer have control of when and how to listen to it, then they are just as rotten as the pirates stealing music. And they are destroying not only intellectual but personal property rights at the same time. I hope that this is some kind of strange mistake, but I have a feeling it's not.
