Copy-protected CDs iPod-incompatible but sell well - Yahoo! News: "Meanwhile, record industry officials said the Dave Matthews and Foo Fighters CDs are selling well."
Of course they're selling well, people want the CD's. If they put out a non-copywrite version of it, I'll bet it would sell even better. Why can't the recording industry just wait until the technology is there? This type of thing just makes them and the labels hated even more by the exact people they're trying keep from copying CD's. In Canada we've had some copy protected CD's for a while now and I refuse to buy any. I don't pirate, but I want to be able to listen to the music when I want to listen to it, not just when I'm in front of my stereo.
Until the trade groups and labels get their act together they're going to continue to lose sales.
