You might want to relay to EMI that your customer base is annoyed by
their limiting their customer's usage of a product they have PURCHASED.
There are a lot of people out there who use their computers as a primary
means of listening to music. They have a right to listen as they please,
and also have the LEGAL right to make a backup copy in case of loss,
damage or theft of the disc. The copy protection obviously isn't working
anyway since several people have found ways around it. So it isn't
stopping any sharing on P2P networks... it's only inconveniencing and
irritating the paying customers and ultimately will cost you more sales.
