Yeah, we burn CDs -- so sue us

[Lord_of_the_Dense]

The music recording industry is at it again -- targeting poor, innocent and technologically savvy college students for putting their education to use.

The Recording Industry Association of America announced last week that it is intending to file federal copyright lawsuits against 405 college students at 18 universities nation-wide.

Although the University was not on the list of schools with kids being sued, other smarty-pant colleges like Georgia Tech, MIT and Harvard were not as lucky.

However, the industry is going at this all wrong. Instead of giving almost everybody with a computer the option to burn a copy of a CD, and then punishing them afterwards, they should be making it impossible to actually burn the material in the first place.

If they are indeed so concerned about people making copies of a CD then sharing it, why not make all CDs so they are non-burnable? I know this technology exists, because I have a CD that cannot be copied.

(I tried. It didn't work.)
