CD copy protection quid pro quo
A new report from Parks states:
"Consumers Amenable to Music CDs With Copy Protection
Sizeable Percentages of "Rippers" Okay With Some Restrictions
DALLAS, TX -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 02/24/2005 -- Contrary to widely held industry beliefs, U.S. consumers are not overwhelmingly antagonistic toward the concept of copy-restricted music CDs, provided these CDs come with the proper incentives, according to Parks Associates' forthcoming report "Digital Rights: Content Ownership and Distribution...."
I think this points in the right direction - If I can get other benefits on a CD (added features or new content), AND it's much cheaper, I may be willing to accept some limitations on the 'fair use' copying possibilities. MAYBE. But of course, this was clear 5 years ago.... :)
