Recording Industry Hopes To Hinder CD Burning
Hmmm, I’m not sure if this would be a good thing or a bad thing. However, from past RIAA history, it’s probably not a good thing…

On SlashDot:
Decaffeinated Jedi writes "News.com reports that the recording industry is currently testing technology that would limit the number of times that a given CD (or copies of that CD) could be burned. The idea is to let consumers ‘make a limited number of copies of their music—enough for a car, a vacation home and a friend, for example—without allowing for uncontrolled duplication.’ Currently, Macrovision and SunnComm International are developing competing versions of such ‘secure burning’ technology, with BMG Music Group already testing the latter company’s software."
