Another Reason Why Songs Are Pirated

The music industry has been complaining about how cheap songs are on Apple’s iTunes music store. Even though iTunes seems to be the only solution to curb the explosive music pirating subculture, the record executives just don’t get it.

Sony, acting like a jackass, put out a CD with a copy-protection measure built-in. The CD installs an invisible piece of software in the computer to make sure the owner of the CD can’t rip it. But the plan backfired as a trojan virus, brilliantly, piggybacks on the Sony code.

And the record executives complain about CD sales going down the hill? Who’s going to buy a copy of CD that they can’t rip, and worst yet, could potentially put a security flaw in CD owner’s computer?

Dumbasses.
