[Free-sklyarov-uk] Sony spiderman CD

[Frederik De Bleser]

The Sony Spiderman CD doesn't support copying to PC or Mac. This is 
the mail I sent to the people at Sony (sonymusiconline at sonymusic.com) 
. I plan to keep sending these sorts of mails for *every* copyrighted 
CD I want to buy: it is important to give as much feedback to the 
record companies as you can.
(Furthermore, I mentioned the Vaio ad.)

Hi,

After seeing the Spiderman movie, I really liked the music, and so 
was interested to buy the CD. Imagine my surprise when I found out 
that the CD doesn't play on PC or Mac. You should know that my Mac IS 
my CD-player: I have iTunes installed on my PowerBook G4, and like to 
rip CD's to hard drive, so I can have my music with me whenever I 
travel. Also, as soon as I have made some money, I'd like to buy an 
iPod so I can play my music on that while cycling or going to school 
(I'm a graphic design student) -- all of these possibilities are now 
ruled out because your CD doesn't support copying.

All of the things I mentioned: ripping the CD to my harddrive, 
uploading it to my iPod, are all legitimate uses of the music I own, 
yet you somehow prevent me from doing it.

Needless to say, I didn't buy the CD, and am now unable to listen to 
the music. Ironically, one of your latest adverts (found on the back 
cover of PC Plus of september 2002) sports "The new Sony VAIO 
PCG-NV109M" and states: "Download and record music straight to 
MiniDisc". What music? Oh yes, as it says: "your favourite tunes from 
the web" -- hmm, that gives me an idea...

Kind regards,
