I if may quote Nelson from the Simpsons:

HA HAAAAA!

This is just classic...some multi million dollar investment and research and crap to identify the next latest and greatest means of making private mp3's for ones self is defeated by a marker. This must be something out of some comedians joke skit or some movie ...

Thanks $ony for the smiles!

Think somebody at Sony is looking for a job?

[AngelBlue]

We can only hope so, we can only hope so. Pity that the real people that need to lose their job are up in the executive food chain. Still this is just pretty silly when you think that a local supermarket marker has just defeated the next hi tech ingenuity. To some of you folks out there this is old news or what not...but really...I dont think we can over emphasize just how symbolically this shows just how silly the record companies have gotten.

Peace

The above link is dead. Yahoo took off the story. How did the thing work? Can Someone find the story? Any thoughts?
