About the copy control. It is easy to crack. I also ripped the CD and put the songs on my hard disk. Not for sharing, but just for listening to it. I've done that with every Meat CD.

That's interesting...in New Zealand, DVDs are much more expensive than cds. Album CDs in New Zealand can be found for as little as $US9, depending on where you buy. The upper price limit for CDs in NZ is about $US24, with 2CD compilations generally being the only CDs that cost more. However, for DVDs that is usually the average price, and often they are more. A very small number of DVDs can be found for about $US16 but certainly no less. In New Zealand, the price of CHSIB ranges from about $US15 to about $US18.
I copied the CD for someone who I was sure would purchase (and since has purchased) the album. I used a computer at the university where I work, and Windows Media Player for the ripping. It was slow but had no other problems. The version I used was the German version, which has the copy control logo on it. I have now received the Australian version which does not have the logo or any other similar logo.
