"Guns don't kill people - Husbands who come home early from work kill people"

-Larry The Cable Guy-

I've yet to buy the perfect CD. Due to the time consumed in getting it right (recording times, label, etc.), I have very few CDs compiled from my music. The ones that I have made, I play often; the music in my mp3 players - which I own (legal downloads or rips) - probably see as much play time as CDs.

With Sony pursuing this, I'll probably NOT purchase any of their music CDs with this "protection". If they persist - no more Sony anything. If it spreads to other record companies (if they see Sony struggle in the market, you can bet it won't), they'll get the same treatment.

Sometimes you can only vote with your wallet to get the big companies attention.
