Put a new Music CD in your drive and watch it hose your puter!
« on: October 09, 2003, 12:32:15 PM »
Check out think link, it is a thread on an EQ board. The gist is, a guy puts a new music CD in his drive, it says he needs a driver update, installs drivers that make his CDR drive show as a normal drive and he cant rip to MP3s on his system.

No warning on the CD..

Man this is sick. Link to the thread on Ranger glade.

Is it real? Has it happend to anyone here?

They were talking about this last night on Jimmy Kimmel. Apparently, all you have to do is hold the shift key when loading the CD and it will not load the program. Rip away!:D

Well yeah I read that, but still I think it is pretty disturbing that they do not warn you they are going to install stuff that is going to mess with your system.

another mark against RIAA.

I agree, but I bet if you look somewhere in the liner notes it has something to the effect of "Copyrighted Material, do not duplicate without permission."

Thats the grey area as it has been legal to make copies for personal use, just not for reselling or other profit making activities.

That's a "Trojan Horse" where I come from.
Just another reason not to buy CDs.
