I found about this today and wasn't happy. I don't have any sony gear and haven't ever used my cd burner to play music with. I have a very nice stereo for playing music so I don't need to use my computer. But this reminds of years ago when VHS Movies first started to appear. There was a copyguard system called marcovision, it's still around, but I bought a movie and back then movies cost a bunch, this movie if I remember correctly cost around 80 bucks, and I couldn't play it on my VCR because of the stupid copy guard. The picture was so screwed up that no matter how I adjusted the tracking it would not play, and because I had opened the package, the store would not exchange or take back the movie, for years it sat on a shelf and I would try in various VCR's trying to find one that it would play in and I just remembered the movie it was Flash Gordon.... I don't want to rip anyone off but the whole system of copyguards it stupid. So body with the right know how and equip can defeat copyguard every time. The only people it stops is the everyday consumer....
