I think I'm gonna try tomorrow to git me a little. I like this for a bottom. Ya know average in a little.
NIce. I love it I wish the street knew.
What is going on!! Why have we lost so much!!! This sucks big time!
Good news corey. I hope to see most of the CD's in the top 200 with MediaMax on them. We need something to move this SP up!!
Cool, I could see that getting bigger.
Nice bleu, are we rolling out with DiscLive too?
Holy shiz Roxy, good find!

" If BMG wants to hold back on switching over to MM5 for their big releases" Who are the Foo Fighters?
Watching the Foo Fighters on VH1 right now " Is someone getting the best of you". Sure feels like it! I think I'll stop myself now.
That's what we said at .05!

We need a good PR. This is getting rediculous.

The Appearance - Are We Not Entertained
No
Nice to know we our protection is on those two! Thanx Rox
I tell ya, the breaking of .04 is heartbreaking. I've gone against every trading principle with this one. I hope they turn things around soon, I can't afford to lose too much more.
ARGHHH!!!!I know your right!
OK, I'm going to spew a little now! If MVSN came out with a PR stating "we've put copy protection on the Foo Fighters and Backstreet boys both on the Billbaord top 5". WTF do you think it would do for their SP!!!! This is Bull shitttt!
Absolutely! Ipod took advantage of a situation that shouldn't exist. MP3's spread throughout the internet like a VIRUS. Destroying Jobs/Growth for companys that produce this music for all to enjoy. We have the right, as consumers, to use this media we do not own the rights to it! It should not be allowed to distribute so easily and freely. I would think the Record companys would be; out to get, anyone who produces a product that supports this. IMVFHO
Way off!
Excellent read. Couldn't agree more!!!
Hopefully Sony/BMG will get great results again from the Foo Fighters/Backstreet Boys CD's and other Labels will notice. I think our #'s are going to be very good in the next announcement.
Hot off the Press from Billboard...
This week, MediaMax-protected and enhanced Foo Fighters AND The Backstreet Boys debut on the Billboard Top 200 as the #2 and #3 best selling albums in the world
Stay tuned for more.

Backstreet's Back, But Foo's The Big News
- June 22, 2005
The arrival of Foo Fighters at No. 2 on The Billboard 200 gives the band its highest chart position and best sales week ever ... Backstreet Boys are back, with a No. 3 debut for their "Never Gone" set ...

OK, I received my Sunngramm and I'm interested in this, "best selling albums in the world". I like the way it sounds, are they implying we are with them throughout the world?
They need a law to be passed to prohibit MP3 downloads for sale. You shouldn't be able to sell music that can't be protected. Period.
Good luck! I can't believe this SP. It's unbelievable. We need to merge NOW!!!!!!
Ditto!
jr, I'm sure it'll get deleted but LOL!!
Wouldn't they have a support page too?
1 more added to the list

I think that's 199.
Salon Musique - Ultimate Relaxer
True that! lol
I agree corey, we have concluded it's EMI & a comercial release.
Is this different from the one that was posted?
CDs to Restrict Copying of Songs
EMI Group plans to join Sony BMG in including anti-piracy technology in its releases that limit how much music can be burned onto discs.
By Jon Healey and Charles Duhigg, Times Staff Writers
Music fans who copy CDs for all their pals, take note: It may be time to shed some friends.
Executives at EMI Group on Monday said they planned to begin rolling out CDs with technology designed to limit copying. The technology allows buyers to burn onto CDs only three full copies of a disc's songs, and the burned discs cannot be copied.

Sony BMG is heading even faster down the same road. About half the discs it releases in the United States today have the three-copy limit, and it plans to have a similar restriction on all its U.S. releases by the end of the year, said Thomas Hesse, president of the company's global digital music business.
The new CD technology still has some compatibility issues — most notably, the songs on the discs cannot be transferred directly to Apple Computer Inc.'s popular iPods. Such limitations are one reason that the two other major record companies, Universal Music Group and Warner Music Group Corp., have yet to make the switch to "secure" CDs.
Nor is the technology foolproof. Executives at EMI and Sony BMG said the point was to rein in copying by the everyday music fan, not to stop determined bootleggers.
Nevertheless, if fans do not rebel, the companies' discs are likely to chart the rest of the industry's path into secure CDs. The goal, label executives say, is to have anti-piracy technology on every track sold, whether it is encased in plastic or downloaded from an online store.
Many music executives blame digital piracy for the prolonged slump in CD sales. That piracy comes in two main forms: free downloading from Internet file-sharing networks and using CD burners to copy entire discs.
The file-sharing issue receives more headlines, but CD burning may be more prevalent. Hesse said a survey by market research firm NPD Group found that fans acquired twice as much music through burned CDs as they did through file sharing.
The labels have been selling secure CDs overseas for several years. But they have been reluctant to bring the discs to the United States until the technology was flexible enough to allow some degree of copying to computers and to blank CDs.
Before merging with Sony Music, Bertelsmann Music Group was the label most willing to experiment with secure CDs in the United States. Its releases included two hits: Velvet Revolver's "Contraband" in 2004 and Anthony Hamilton's "Comin' From Where I'm From" in 2003.
Those CDs used technology from SunnComm International Inc. of Phoenix that blocked the discs from being copied onto a computer. Instead, the discs contained a second set of tracks in Microsoft's secure Windows Media format that could be copied onto a computer, transferred to portable players and burned onto a limited number of CDs.
The technology left several notable holes in the security, however. The burned CDs had no electronic locks to prevent them from being copied an unlimited number of times, and hackers quickly found a way to circumvent SunnComm's technology entirely to remove all the restrictions.
Since then, SunnComm and three other companies have developed a more secure approach. The new versions are designed to allow a limited number of copies that can be burned onto CDs that cannot, in turn, be copied.
EMI plans to begin selling secure CDs in the U.S. in mid-July; the artists affected include 30 Seconds to Mars and OK Go.
Both EMI and Sony BMG plan to let buyers get around the CDs' restrictions so they can get tracks onto iPods. Executives said they were willing to sacrifice security in the name of playability.
Still, the technology leaves at least one analyst skeptical.
"Here you have a product with declining sales, and for the same price you want to decrease the potential value of it," said analyst Phil Leigh of Inside Digital Media. "Basically, music companies are saying, 'We're going to lock up the front door of the store now, but the back door is still remaining wide open.' "
