I *think* that I may have experienced my first copy protected CD.

When I try copying the latest remastered cd of "Diary of a Madman" or "Blizzard of Ozz" the HSX sucks in each of the the CD's, reads it and then spits it back out. WHAT IS UP WITH THAT!? Where is the motivation for me to buy more cd's?

It is really ironic that I now am being forced to find a napster type site to get the mp3's of these two albums which I just purchased. How is this Copy Protection encouraging someone like me who owns the HSX and wants to only listen to cd's that I have purchased to buy more CD's when I have to put up with this crap? This method of copy protection actually (ironically) encourages people to seek sites like napster and get their music for FREE instead of buying a CD that they cannot use.

Also - I can copy the CD's to my computer but when I use emplode to transfer the files I get an error on every track. I'm assuming that this is more of the copy protection crap.

I guess I need to start buying the older used cd's?
