CD Copy Protection?

Oriel · 16 Apr 2003, 10:47

Hey y'all,
Just to what extent are the singles and album going to be copy protected?

Usually, I get the CD, rip it to MP3, then keep the CD somewhere safe. I'm hoping I'll be able to do the same with this these.

Does anybody (Fire Ball?) know what kind of copy protection is going to be implemented on the CDs?

Cheers,
Stephen.

The CD has a Copy Control logo (and accompanying message) on the bottom of the back. I don't know what it says, it's in German. However, I'm guessing it is something similar to the stuff on the back of the DIST single.

The copy protection on the UK single of CHSIB really just means that you can't see the music tracks when you view the cd in Windows Explorer. But look at the cd in any cd-ripper and the tracks are there for the ripping.
