I just bought a SonyBMG album that is copy protected with what I assume is this new copy protection. I returned it when I couldn't play it on my pc at work without installing their special music player software.

It is so hard to comprehend how they think this can be a good idea. I buy my music instead of downloading becauses I believe it is the moral thing to do. But s*&! like this makes me want to download instead. At least then I could do whatever I want to with my music.

And it's not like this copy protection will keep the music from getting onto P2P networks, I mean the cd works just fine on my Mac and on my linux box....which makes the whole DRM thing that much more frustrating.
