Her complaint, in a nutshell, is that all this DRM crap was thrown
in without any warning sticker on the box. It's pretty scary
stuff, too: the CD can't be played on a computer; instead it
appears that one can download versions of the songs in a
proprietary format that can not be loaded onto a portable MP3
player. Aaand, the user must supply personal information in
order to get them.
So, this takes us back to the issue of putting warning labels
on CDs that are impaired by DRM etc etc. Would this suit
bring that closer to reality?
