I've just purchased The Darkness new album, Permission to Land -- it's a great one, conjuring up rock's past masters of the late 70s and early 80s. We're talking Journey, Boston, Foreigner and Loverboy here.
Anyhow, the band is beside the point -- this was the first CD I've purchased that has some sort of bogus copy protection built into it. Crap. Now I can't play it on my Mac and I can't rip it to live on my iPod. Ridiculous. There was no warning on the packaging about it being copy protected. Now I'm not sure of what to do with it. Return it? Then I have no way of listening to the 100% pure rock of the Darkness.
Has anyone else run into this dilemma?
