"It looks like the version of the cd released in North America will not be feature copy protection, but pretty much all others will. So in this case it looks like fans in Europe are getting screwed by the suits even more then we are. Sorry. Also, I have gotten many emails on this subject, and I thought I would just share one of them in hopes that we can play a small part in bringing attention to this issue.
'Hello,
I just felt like telling you, that I got the record today (in Switzerland) and it IS copy protected so it turns out, that (after pre-ordering the album on the 7th of October 2003) I can't listen to it because it doesn't play on my discman (Sony D-CJ501) and I can tell you that I'm VERY pissed off!!! This is a total rip-off! Every asshole who downloads the album and burns it onto CD can easily listen to it but the honest buyer can't??
FUCK VIRGIN RECORDS!
Sorry to bother you with this,
XXXX'"
