Rocketboomed
January 24th, 2006While catching up on my growing pile of unwatched Rocketboom video blog posts in iTunes, I was shocked and surprised to see the CD jacket insert on the new Coldplay album that has rather strict usage guidelines: “This CD is a copy protected CD”. There’s a long list of warnings stating that the CD cannot be burnt onto a CD-R or hard drive. Essentially, the disc wont play on some car stereos that have CDR/RW playing capabilities, or those with satellite ‘guidance’ systems. Even more surprising was the fact, clarified by Amanda in the Jan 10 vblog post, that this insert only applied to the discs sold in India! 
Does it apply only to CDs purchased in India, or can I take my Coldplay collection back home as mp3s? How are Indian music-listening styles different, Virgin Records?
