Sony, can't you ever do anything right?

Remember those "copy-proof" CD's Sony was marketing...?

And still, one cour run a line from the headphone jack of their discman to your computer's line-in, and separate the tracks manually. When will the DMCA hurry up and get passed to save us from this madness?

"Howls of derisive laughter, Bruce!"

It would greatly irk me if I took a CD-ROM to work, to listen to over my headphone in my office, and found that the CD wouldn't play in my CD-ROM drive.

As Thorin says, when will the music companies get wise to the fact that they're losing money by not making music available electronically! D*mm*t, I'd spend good money right now if I could buy single songs in MP3 format from the albums I want!

Talk about having your head up your butt...
