Sony BMG hinders music pirates with protected CD, this new CD will only allow you to make three copies of the disk and you will not be able to load the tunes on your ipod. However if you own a MAC this does not apply to you....hmmmm. What a half baked Scheme Sony has come up with. Copy protection will always be circumvented even if you you close the little guys down IE: DVD decrypter.... What a waste of time.

Sony BMG's new copy-protection effort comes with at least one downside: PC users are unable to transfer the songs to Apple's popular iPod portable music player, because Apple has declined to make its software compatible with Microsoft's Windows Media digital rights management (DRM) system.
