Look, look! "ProAudio" has been released. This one is designed specifically to foil "Macs, DVD players, and CD-compatible video game consoles" from playing the discs or ripping their contents.
Interesting decision, there. I guess the record labels really are serious in thinking that it's those big nasty Macs that are the root cause of all this piracy nonsense; after all, they're the ones with the "Rip, Mix, Burn" slogan! Why can't they be more like Windows users, who as we all know have never ripped a CD or shared an illicit MP3 in their lives? Pure as the driven snow, they are.
Oh, and this article is a direct response to the "Macs can't rip this music" challenge: it calls upon Mac users everywhere to rise up and crack the scheme. When they do, up goes this cute little badge.
I'd contribute my efforts, except it would involve me first giving money to the people purveying this new format. And that's something I'll never do.
