I would like to add a bit.
Copy Controlled cds actually CAN be copied. When I put it in my cd-rom it automatically loads its player but it shows (!) 128 kbit - very low bitrate, so it seems like it reduces the quality when you play it through their player. I shut down this player and open my own - EasyCD for example. Then it plays it with almost no problems - it only halts for few seconds on first 10th second of the first song.

To copy I can open for example program called Easy cd Creator and it easily copy tracks from the cd to hard drive.

So all the money major labels spend on copy controlled program are spent for nothing or they just steal them and then show in the papers that they spent them to make this "control".

Also copy controlled cd can't be more than 60 minutes long because player and program itself takes too much space of the cd.

So there are some things to think about really...
