Guess the move damaged their PR to much huh
Good. It only hurt their valid customers, as real pirates can get around such trivial DRM without batting an eyelash. If you can hear it or see it, you can copy it too. Furthermore, it really only affected Windows users which I’m certain inconvenienced a vast amount of computer illiterate people. For MacOS or Linux users it’d be just like ripping any other CD. Stupid stupid stupid. And not just on the part of Sony|BMG, but the whole mainstream music industry (RIAA).
