Another DRM Trainwreck

If you have music to give away, now would be a good time to start giving. What if you could only drive your car on specific streets around your town which were decided by your car maker? Well Sony has decided to release music that can only be played on specific compatible devices and can only be copied a certain number of times. This was taken from an insert on Amazon.

This product limits your ability to make multiple digital copies of its content, and you will not be able to play this disc or make copies onto devices not listed as compatible. Content/ copy protected CDs should allow limited burning, as well as ripping into secure Windows Media Audio formats for playback with most compatible media players and portable devices. In rare cases, these CDs may not be compatible with computer CD-ROM players, DVD players, game consoles, or car CD stereos, and often are not transferable to other formats like MP3
