From Slashdot.com: “Roger Ebert has weighed in with a scathing critique of the Universal Music Group and its new copy-protection scheme which renders CDs unplayable in non-Windows operating systems, DVD players, and CD-compatible game consoles. It’s nice to see the mainstream press start to come out against the idiotic copy-protection war the RIAA is declaring on their best customers, music lovers. Having to agree to a legal contract to hear a CD you’ve purchased on your own PC? Puh-leeze. Ebert compares these copy-protection schemes to Circuit City’s failed DIVX DVD format.” Columnist Dan Gillmor wrote a piece a few days ago about drawing a line in the sand.”
