Ack! It's no wonder people continue to use P2P networks to trade music files when the music companies stage this hidden code and other junk onto your PC - and all you want to do is listen. Well, some of you want to do more than that. I mean, if people are really paranoid, just play these copy-protected CDs on a good ole' CD player and hook the analog (or better yet, optical or coaxial digital) outputs into your sound card and take the music that way (just use Audacity to record the MP3s at whatever bit rate/fidelity you want).
These copy protection schemes will never end (out of fear from revenue loss), but the ways around them will always be there, and in some cases earlier than the most talented (I mean, over-qualified) record executive can even imagine. Down with the man!
