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.... :)
