Nora Jones new CD -- Copy Protection -- YIKES


Can you believe this?? We work for years to get the sonics right...and now we have to deal with this copy protection BS.

I've heard that since the copy protection is based in windows executable files...that you can simply copy the CD using a mac and the copy protection is gone.

Are there any computer techies out there that could confirm or refute this.

Brianmgrarcom: I agree... it sounds very compressed to me. So did her first CD. Not typical for Blue Note. Where's Rudy Van Gelder when we need him?!
Here's the response sent to me from BlueNote:

I received the same response. I still would like to know how these companies plan to deal with hard drive-based systems which I'm sure will gain market share over time.
I dont know what you guys are talking about. I ripped my New nora Jones cd, the old one and also a new dvd audio disc to windows media player 9 with no problems.
