Comments on: Record labels continue to sucker punch music consumers. Newest copy protected CDs: no MP3s, no Macs, some PCs, some CD/DVD players, some car stereos http://fastandloud.com/record-labels-continue-to-sucker-punch-music-consumers-newest-copy-protected-cds-no-mp3s-no-macs-some-pcs-some-cddvd-players-some-car-stereos/ We wanna give it to you straight, no matter the topic - bands and bombs, cars and guitars, candor and culture. A shot of the truth, a hefty dose of sarcasm, and a sprinkle of humor is what fastandloud is all about.

I won`t even deal with record labels because they`re also theives, just like the person ripping it from the net. I have a full CD of songs that I want to release, but who is going to buy it? Nobody, they will all down load it. Beatport plus your own label is the only way for me. Record labels are a dime a dozen.

I am not a technical person so to have to try any way to get around it - is a pain in the a**. I pay for the music and can not listen to it. I did go back to the store and they were great about it and completely refunded me in full. What totally irks me further is that these artists sell on sites such as itunes but create cds with labels that won't allow for their cds to be copied so you can load to the ipod?? It doesn't make sense to me!! I am going to keep buying cds, but I will not hesitate to take them back if protected. I don't want to have to screw around with loading it. If they don't want my business, they definately won't get it. I just bought Mary J Blige cd Growing Pains only to find it is copy protected and I can not load onto my ipod.

What I don't get about copy protecting Cds sold at retail is that they (labels) are screwing the wrong person, the customer that IS paying for the music. Copy protection does not affect the millions of people downloading the music for free. Record labels are completly out of touch with comsumers and have at every chance, gone in the wrong direction. Now the music industry is endangered and I believe it will never recover. What a shame. I managed several record stores for 15 years and I agree with everything in this story.

I recently bought a new laptop, after my old one just wasn't operating prper;y, excited about the new COOL looking device bought to mainly listen to and record MUSIC, I hooked up my external hard drive where I saved for safe keeping the tracks and albums bought and paid for by me on MUSICMATCH and guess what...that's right....can't play them, can't play them on any audio software on my new system, seems there must be a nicely hidden program that tells the server as well as the system that HEY, we don't know this guy he must be steeling our music, BS....100% I bought and paid for every single song I have and now well...they are worthless. Tell me what to do tro have my music back, I'll tell you that I am about to file a formal complaint yet hey what the hell that will make me feel like I did something but in the end I won't even get an email over the thing, I'll just be out as you said thousands of dollars in audio related activities.....Nice JOB, MUSICMATCH>>>and all the others out there that think we are all theives...well we aren't.
