CD Protection For Dummies
from the so-simple dept
Alexis Agahi writes "I don't know if it is really efficient, but it seems that Cactus Data Shield 100/200 and KeyAudio CD protection can be avoided with marker pens and electrical tape applied the edge of the CD... Funny to see that protection can often be circumvented with a cheap technique. But let's face it, having a collection of CD with magnetic tape stick on the borders is not very glorious." This was mentioned in a comment on a post yesterday, but figured it was worth posting to the site. I wonder how well it actually works. I remember when CDs first came out, hearing that you could improve their sound quality with a green magic marker... which always sounded like an urban myth.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team

Didn't 2600 get sued for this activity?
Don't we hate that a stupid law requires us to ask these types of questions?
