A CD insert to make Sony blush

Coldplay's latest CD provides what may be one of the best tools to use against the onslaught of anti-consumer digital rights management technology. Their most recent album, X & Y, now comes in some regions with an insert that warns users not to expect the CD they just purchased to work with just any old CD player (the following exemplar is from India). Stating that "This CD cannot be burnt onto a CD-R or hard disk, nor can it be converted into MP3 for file sharing," the insert goes on to list 12 bullet-pointed exceptions to what devices can actually play the disc. But before they deliver the bad news, they start off with the good stuff.

Hmm, it isn't compatible with the macintosh software... well thats fine and dandy. It'd really be a nice thing to stick on the outside of the jewel case, I'd have to admit it would not be a happy day for the manager I threw the thing at when I came back with the useless thing and he says I cannot return it.

I love how the guy was still able to rip it just the same.
