Consumers shun copy-protected audio CDs

In a survey recently released by GartnerG2, 77% of respondents said that they should be able to copy CDs for personal use in another device, 60% said they should be able to give copies of CDs to members of their families, and 82% said that they should be able to copy CDs for personal backup purposes.

And why shouldn’t they? I’ll certainly be doing all of these things, whether or not the RIAA says I can.

74% of respondents also said that these AC/CDs — they’re not CDs, so I’m going with “Anti-Copy Compact Disc” for now — should have giant orange warning labels, presumably so that they can avoid them. Link
