Copy-protected CDs revealed.... "Copy-protected CDs revealed. This tech article deconstructs, in detail, the protections applied to music CDs that are "protected" (i.e. broken) with Cactus Data Shield, like Universal's Fast and the Furious disc, and describes how you can use off-the-shelf software to read and copy these discs on your PC, so you can make mix discs and backups, and so you can move your music to your hard-drive and MP3 player." [via bOing bOing]

Pretty technical, probably more than you wanted to know, but I thought Bruce would be interested in this one.

New Scientist "This article is different from anything else New Scientist has ever published. Before you read it, it's important you understand a few things. What sets it apart is that it has been released under a special kind of license called a "copyleft". That means you are free to copy, redistribute and rework the article, as long as you abide by certain terms and conditions. The exact terms and conditions can be found at the end of the article, or at http://dsl.org/copyleft/dsl.txt. All other articles on this site and in the magazine are covered by a standard copyright, which means that the right to copy, redistribute or modify the article belongs exclusively to us."

Slimy record companies.
