Ya gotta love it! The CD companies came out with this new copy protection scheme that produces corrupt discs that won't play in regular players because they don't want folks copying the discs on their computers. Ya have to wonder how much money and energy they threw at this project, only to have the whole thing negated by a 13 year-old boy.
The solution is amazingly simple, naturally! There is a section at the end of the disc that holds the information that protects the disc from being copied on the computer, somehow (note the circled area in the image), a person takes a marker and draws a line through that area (taking care not to enter the area with the music data). The disc is ready to be copied now. I don't know if it will make a corrupt disc playable. I just saw this and wanted to post about it!
