EMI and the Pivate Copy Right

by linathael . Original by Lionel - 20/11/2006 09:46:37 CET - Source: PC Inpact
StopDRM is providing the link to an official webpage from the music major EMI (in French). This webpage is providing procedures to follow in order to copy DRM-protected tracks (CopyControl) to a computer or standalone CD player.
If they do not provide the way to hack their protection, they provide the ways to bypass it! This is once more an example of the weird situation where DRM-protected tracks, instead of promoting online music stores and legal distribution, are pushing frustrated consumers, who have legally purchased their digital music, to hack DRM in order to be able to play their tracks as they want and/or using the player of their own choice.
In addition by publishing online such information, EMI acknowledges the private copy right claimed by French consumers associations, and but then might be consider as an illegal act according to the recently voted French law (DADVSI law).
