Universal Music Group has employed a controversial copy protection scheme on a new audio CD this week. Designed to prevent the music on the CD from being pirated, it also excludes the disc from being played at all on Macs, DVD players, and CD-compatible video game consoles.
The company this week released a new soundtrack CD called "Fast & Furious -- More Music." It's the first CD to be released in the United States with special copy protection features designed to prevent the music on the disc from being duplicated on another CD or ripped to a PC's hard drive in MP3 format.
