suncomm is a company responsible for the copy-protection scheme on some new sony cds. sometimes, it’s good to be the ignored mac-using minority…because their copy-protection scheme can be defeated simply by…putting the cd in a mac.

“Buy a Mac.

That?s right, despite SunnComm?s claims that its copy protection scheme makes its wares incompatible with iTunes?and therefore the iPod?when I inserted my Dave Matthews disc into three different Macs, the disc appeared, played, ripped and burned in iTunes (and transferred to my iPod) with nary a glitch, and without the need for an authorizing utility.

And this is the kind of technology that the music industry hopes will stem the tide of piracy!?

God help them.”

be a music pirate, buy a mac!
