okay well..im gonna try to explain this the best i can..

i heard from a friend that they are doing something to CD`s where you cant copy them anymore. Like if your friend buys a CD you want and you just burn it from his CD or whatever. Do you guys know if thats true or not?? Just wondering..

I hope not...that would suck big time. We'd all have to go on a strike!

ah its prolly not true. but if it is, then im sure someone will figure out a way to get around it
teenprincess
I'm not sure if that's true or not but they do that to some dvds and I'm sure they'll do it to all of them in the future.

man, I hope not.. that would SUCK... i know that the Eminem cd has that tho.. where u can't copy it. (Encore.)
PurchasedRebellion
That would definitely suck.


Are you sure? I transferred the songs from Encore onto my comp just fine...
stephinika
yeah don't some dvd's and cd's already have that?

It doesn't matter much to me because I can just download songs off the internet...

tinababy143
yeah..most of the new cd`s have that..kelly clarkson`s, britney`s, eminem`s..haha im a teeny bopper..but yeah..i thought there was just something wrong with my computer, but then my friend said on all the new cd`s she just bought you cant do it either..

haha yeah..thats why ((from what i heard)) they are deciding to do that..is because everyone is just copying everyone else`s cds so the artists and record companies dont get any profits..

but yeah..i dont really have to worry about it either because i buy all my cd`s..i was just wondering tho

kellyannie
I guess I'll just have to start buying my own CD's now cry.gif I already started to but, damn 15 dollars for a little disc?? stubborn.gif All I know is that it better be worth it mad.gif
cmgchica717
That is such BS. I cannot believe that but I know eventually they will probably to that to all CD's & DVD's. How sad. But I download off the internet anyways. The Last CD I bought was In Love and Death by the USED. I refuse to buy CD's anymore...waste! wacko.gif
lookitskim
I have no problem with it.. cause i buy all my cd's and dvd's.
I like to have the original copies
ryanoman
Don't you rip the tracks off then?
mona lisa

isn't that the same thing, copying them from cd's is called ripping, at least's that's what it's called in wmp.
weirdness
eww that would suck :P
wayne
cant be true.. cause then what would be the point of cd burners?

if it is true, then alot of companies will go out of business cause alot of people buy burners just to copy cd's.
HelloSunshine
hmmm...I don't think it's true _unsure.gif
sadolakced acid
this sucks... we need to start a national movement or something...

if you can't copy a CD because of thier copy protection, let a hacker break the code and then give free copies to everyone.

the record companies trying to boost sales by using expensive copy protection would soon learn!
krispy_kreme333
the new cds say that u cant copy them but i still can cuz i did it no prob and i made some copies 4 my friends so there just tryin 2 scare us with there warnins
freeflow
i dont think thats true
but if it wuz i wouldnt care that much cuz i dont really buy cds anymore
but its really messed up if its true
heyyfrankie
i heard that too. i don't know how they are going to do it.
LiLrEbL365
yeah they have made cds like that cuz my 1st stepdad had some cds with the thing on it

i think its more expensive though so some companies would rather just stick a warning label on the case than actually do something about it

oh yeah about the eminem cd i have that and i've burned it for people before so yeah.
emptyminded
Well with the prices of original cds that's not cool. Besides you know on most cds only a few songs are good. That's why If possible that's why I burn my own cds. A few tracks here and few from a friend, some more from others.. yeah. Oh well.
comeupon
Its actually very easy to get around that, all you need is a LAME MP3 Encoder, so when you import the cd onto your computer it becomes mp3 format. Then you can burn it no problem.
