CD that you can play on your PC: 50$
CDs that you can play anywhere and are completely open: Priceless.
(Sorry couldn't help it...but it would be a high price nonetheless siting possible renumeration for "piracy"...never mind that we ALREADY fork over a ton of money whenever we buy blank media such as CDs and Hard Drives whether we download MP3s or not...)

An Example
Now if I can't rip it to MP3/Ogg to play on my 7 computers (half of which don't use Windows), 3 MP3 players or 2 DVD players, then I truly have lost value there.
Solution? Buy it when I get back to the US at Tower, without the copy protection, and save some money on the crappy exchange rate too (hey at 15ukp, that comes to 30usd anyway!)
Personally I would have preferred to just buy the "Hey Ya" and "Rose" tracks online somewhere for 99c, but as Ogg/FLAC/WAV files without copy-protection....
