Microsoft unveils new CD copy protection - when does it end?

[GonzoStyle]

I buy albums but only very few artists, like eminem, radiohead, and some others. I feel that it puts a fire under the artists asses now, because people were tired of buying a cd for one good song and 20 tracks of shit. Why should I go out and spend 20 bucks on a cd when I only want one song.

If I download some songs and the majority sound good then I will consider buying the album.

The whole point of CD's was that the didn't have any moving parts like audio tapes, so they would be better in quality and cheaper to manufacture. It's not my problem that they spend so much on marketing, if the CD is good you don't need much marketing.

How come DVD's cost as much basically as a music cd? It's ridiculous, DVD's are almost the same price as video tapes, by the music industry standards, DVD's should cost 50 bucks. Yet they don't.
