Anti-rip CD system bypassed

There is new content restriction technology being used, without notice,
on audio CDROMs. The technology is incompatible with computer CD
players, and may harm some audio equipment.
My suggestion: return the disk(s) as defective to your vendor. Sue the
bejesus out of them if they balk. Publish then name of the store,
recording lable, and artist who are using this technology, and tell the
store you will be doing this. Post the names here.
Avoid all the involved players like the plague.
Peace.
