Copy-protected ayu CD?
 

Has anyone ever bought a specifically copy-protected CD from Yesasia? I plan on getting the overseas version of A BALLADS, but the warning specifically says that the CD is playable on Windows, but the songs cannot be ripped.

I use iPod, so of course this is a problem...does anyone know if it will still rip as copy-protected AAC (M4A) format?

i have a TW press of RAINBOW and I have that copy control sticker on the CD..but I was still able to rip it on iTunes~

i think all the stocks are the same right.
I think the copy control sticker meant to be you can't duplicate it but you can rip it using software.
I can rip all the cds that have that sticker using itunes

in my life I only ever had that problem with one cd. I don't even remember what it was, but it was american. I think the sticker is just a scare tactic. >> But you shouldn't buy overseas just for that reason, cause you want to rip it. They wouldn't do that to her cds. If so then they would have done it to all her cds.

I managed to rip A-Ballads to iTunes but mine was Japan Press. I think the same thing applies to Taiwan Press.

My A Ballads is HK version and i can rip it using itunes

I've ripped:
Memorial Address Japan Press with copy control
Duty Korean Press with copy control

and I hadn't problems ripping these with iTunes

i have a ballad japanese press and i could rip it without any problem and transfer the song to my ipod really fast.

just dont use window media player lol

I've never had issues ripping copy protected CDs. I ripped RAINBOW and A BALLADS with windows media player and they're fine. I've since burned them onto mix CDs etc.

I've used both old and new versions of players. The newer ones sometimes put a warning but you just click it off. Older (really old) players don't know what copy protection is, it seems, and they just rip it anyway xD

those cd used an old copy-control method which is outdated and can be easily cracked by any cd ripping software nowaday!

Sounds good...thanks everyone!

ya.this is why we still can see people upload it on internet because i believe the technology can solve everything =D
so,don't worry.buy original :D
