Copy righted CDs

In the latest flurry of RIAA issues (Recording Industry *sshole Association), Sony released Celine Dion new CD with copy (or ripping to mp3) protection. It is so powerful, not only can it prevent you from playing the CD on computers), but it may do harm to your computer (which is not listed in the warning label).

Apparently, the CD will prevent you from ejecting the disc thru normal method and may cause harm to the computer if you attempted to eject the disc in the not so normal fashion (sometimes, there is a physical eject button that releases the locking mechanism of the CD).

Anyway, the yahoo link below gives more details.
