Michael Jackson Releases Uncopyable CD

Derek Jeter writes "NTK.net is reporting in their weekly
newsletter that another copy restricted CD has surfaced,
this time Michael Jackson's newest single, "Rock Your
World".  "When loaded into the CD drive, the disc spun
continuously as though the drive was trying to access
the TOC of a blank or corrupted CDR."  Ughh, Doesn't this
violoate the Red Book Standard?"

I wonder how long before MP3s of this song exist despite
the copy protection. So far its just free promotional co-
pies of the single. I tell ya I'm gonna be pissed the
first time I buy a CD and discover I can't listen to it
in my computer.
