And there was even a promo released back in early September. And the album still isn't out in stores until november 27th. So obviously, this protection scheme did NOT work, as the mp3s are already out there (and have been for a long time) available to p2p and other networks.

Who is the recording industry trying to prevent from making mp3s of the albums? It's obvious the technology isn't stopping the MP3 release groups from making the rips, and it seems to me THIS would be the group of people you would want to try to stop - not Mr. Joe Blow who goes to buy a CD and wants to make digital copies of it for his own personal use.

Dumb, dumb dumb.
