It's old news, but Sony's attempt to put a stopper on "illegal burning" of CDs was to add an extra feature to it, that made it crash a computer every time it was played. The way this can be prevented is to look on the written side of the cd, and see where the data containing the music had been recorded. A little more to the outside, a line of data featuring the Anti-copy information exists. If you take any old marker and draw over this "feature", the disk will "theoretically" work on computers as well. Utterly pointless.... What next? As was said: Cds that crash and burn when put through more than 1X speed? CDs that crash cd players? CD-players that wear out cds, so you'll have to buy a new one every week? Scary..
