Boing Boing: EMI releases Brazilian DRM CDs that totally hose their customers
> Brazilian mega-star Marisa Monte’s new CDs from EMI (”Infinito Particular” and “Universo ao Meu Redor”) come with DRM that can’t be uninstalled, and requires you to “agree” to a contract that isn’t published in Portuguese. Even if you disagree, the malware is installed. The DRM blocks you from playing the CD on Linux and MacOS, and from loading it onto an iPod.
Would’ve thought that EMI had learnt after the whole Sony BMG mess. Guess not. Good thing I stopped buying music ages ago, as I only listen to livesets and radio shows these days.
