BMG released its first copy-protected CD, Natalie Imbruglia's new album
White Lilies Island, earlier this month. However, a posting on the
Natalie Imbruglia Web site this weekend, revealed the company's plan to
issue unhappy consumers with replacement discs that lack the anti-rip
encoding.
White Lilies Island uses Israeli technology company Midbar's Cactus Data
Shield to prevent the disc from being played in a PC CD-ROM drive.
One consumer, annoyed that the disc would not play on his PC, took his
complaint to the Virgin Megastore at which he'd bought the disc. Virgin
contacted BMG and, according to the retail chain's reply to the buyer,
re-posted here, the music company said that it will re-issue the CD
without Cactus protection.
According to the posting, music fans who have already bought the CD can
have their Cactus disc replaced for a rippable one. The hotline for disc
replacements is 0151 225 1159.
We called the number and can confirm that BMG is indeed replacing discs.
The company will send CD owners a pre-paid envelope in which to return
the Cactus-protected CD. Replacement discs should arrive "within days"
of BMG receiving the original disc, we were told.
