Philips tells industry: "Don't Mess with the CD "


See the attached Sterophile link. Phillips which holds the patents to "Redbook" standard CD technology is saying that new CDs that have copyguard and playback restriction technology are not up to Redbook standards, so cannot not be called Compact Discs and should be labeled accordingly with warnings, etc. Very interesting.

THREE CHEERS for Philips !!!!!!

Ok guys, here's how us audiophiles, who normally don't count for much in the music industry, can make a difference:

BUY SOMETHING PHILIPS.

Who cares what, just send some money their way. Let's see, the mother-in-law wants a small tv in the kitchen, the wife wants a new tv recording device (vcr's dead), and the kid wants a new walkman/mp3 player, and I'm thinking about a flat panel tv. Well, I'll be looking to Philips.

I just wish Philips would dump those cooky flat tv ads.
