Copy Protection Debate Resumes with Foo Fighters

The brilliant execs at RCA have decided to copy protect the latest album from the Foo Fighters entitled In Your Honor. They've locked this sucker down so you can't play it on your iPod. The collective wisdom is staggering that you would alienate a huge chunk of your core audience by putting these senseless restrictive measures in place. Why don't you just put a sticker on the cover saying, "please don't purchase this CD. we'd much rather you download it illegally." There is a lively discussion going on over at Blogcritics on this topic as well as a work around to get around this silly copy protection.
