SunnComm claims its product facilitates "a verifiable and commendable level of security," but in tests on a newly-released album, I find that the protections may have no effect on a large fraction of deployed PCs, and that most users who would be affected can bypass the system entirely by holding the shift key every time they insert the CD." :rotfl: This is even less effort than using a marker to foil Sony's copy protection scheme. I've begun focusing my purchasing efforts on music from independent artists anyway which are much more inclinded to give you good music and never try to tick off the consumer with copy protection schemes. __________________ text sig
