Sony's copy protections have always failed. This isn't about protecting artists this is about Sony trying to force Apple to do things it shouldn't have to do.

Since the compact disc standard doesn't incorporrate any protection schemes, the ones created are flawed and easily beaten. The disc are also not conforming to the CD standard and are inherently incompatible with CD players.

Beating Sony MediaMax DRM since in started...

Sony puts DRM on their copy protected CDs. Sony sells CDs for less - but limits playings to only 20 times, and on no more than 3 machines. Sony starts to provide a service that allows listiners to pay a monthly subscription to play the music CDs on their computer. Microsoft joins in. Microsoft implements DRM into their opperating system (Windows Vista). Microsoft starts charging users an annual fee to use Windows Vista, much like they charge X-Box live users a annual fee. Microsoft makes $$$$ from this proces. Sony makes $$$$ from this process. Consumers spend more money. Consumers try to challange the RIAA, Sony, Microsoft, etc... DMCA layers make $$$$ from consumers. Consumers dont have enough $$$$ to stand up to big record labels. Consumers go broke. Big media gets $$$$$. Repeat.
