The Placebo album Sleep...Such stupidity is not new. The Placebo album Sleeping With Ghosts was released early last year with DRM in some regions but not others. The British version didn't have DRM, but being someone who doesn't like paying HMV/Virgin prices I bought it from cd-wow and got the, identical but with DRM crap on it, European version. Cleverly the DRM prevented my (Sony) stereo from recording the cd on to minidisc for my own personal use thus causing me to swear. Not so cleverly it didn't prevent iTunes from ripping the cd...<br /><br />Extra irony is provided by the fact that I'd already had all the music on the album for nearly two months prior to it's release courtesy of p2p.<br /><br /><br />mike.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
