(From MSNBC.com -- By Bob Sullivan)
There might be more on your music CDs than you think.
Lurking on some music disks is the recording industry's latest attempt to stem the tide of music piracy -- software that limits the amount of times music CDs can be copied.
The special software has been in use for some time on select CDs. But last week, a security researcher unmasked one such program clumsily hidden on some music fans' computers by SONG BMG discs.
The disclosure opened anew some basic questions -- Whose PC is it? Whose music is it? And it reminded music lovers and computer experts that the recording industry isn't stopping the piracy fight with successful shutdowns of file-swapping sites like GROKSTER.
The battle is hitting close to home.
What's On That Music CD, Anyway?
Scott O'Leary, thanks for the post.
