        Fat Chuck's Corrupt CDs

If the controversy swirling around copy protected CDs has been raising the
eyebrows of the List's gentle members, then today's website may provide
some interesting reading.

"These are the music CDs that: 1. Prevent you from copying it for personal
use or from playing it on computerized devices (computers, DVD players,
game consoles like PlayStation, MP3 players, consumer CD duplicators,
high-end stereo equipment and car CD players). 2. In the United States,
Canada and the UK, these "copy-protected" CDs are unmarked. Once you buy
it, you can only exchange it and hope that the replacement isn't garbage
too." - from the website

The site offers a list of copy protected CDs, a section on reporting them
and links to articles on the subject. The "Frequently Asked Questions and
Got Thoughts?" link offers valuable information, including help for those
on the Macintosh platform, who may have a particular problem with this type
of CD. The FAQ's include a direct link to the Apple tech support which has
three techniques for removing a copy protected disk which will not eject.
