Yeah man, you got a copy-protected disc. They're designed not to be able to play in any computer (you should count yourself lucky it didn't lock up your computer meaning you had to take your CD drive to bits - this happened alot with the Celine Dion alum).

Depends on the copy protection, but you might be able to kill it with the felt tip pen method.

My advice? Bitch at them. Say you bought this CD, only to find it wasn't a CD, and now you can't play it (you could even add the sdtPikachu truism that my computer is the only CD player I have), and demand your money back.

"As far as I'm concerned, I have spent my money on the original, and copying the CD is for my convenience"

...but at the inconvenience of the RIAA. If you want two CD's, buy 2 CD's they think. Obviously this if totally fscking ludicrous, but the law is the law. Twats.

Just think, if a million people make personal backups than CEO of Bloody Filthy Rich Records can only afford two new Ferrari's this year, whilst the wealth of untapped talent sitting about continue to do just that.

I hate the RIAA.
