Talk:Copy Control

message: Normally I wouldn't suggest this, but since this appears to be a specific type of copy prevention rather than something generic, it seems that it may be appropriate to move this page to Copy Control.  It seems that some discs that use alternate copy protection schemes are having the template  added inappropriately (this also causes them to appear in :Category:Copy control albums).  Hmm, that would require renaming the categories too.  While the logo is supposedly an international recommendation for any disc using a copy protection scheme, I haven't seen it on any discs using the MediaMax CD-3 system (though I guess I've only bought two of those discs so far). —Mulad (talk) June 30, 2005 04:35 (UTC)
:If copy control is the name associated with the logo and separately the name of the emi copy prevention scheme, we could move this article to EMI Copy control. It would be clearer than having multiple copy control articles with different cases. --Easyas12c 30 June 2005 07:36 (UTC)
:Actually copy control (EMI) might be better. --Easyas12c 30 June 2005 07:41 (UTC)
And add Template:Wrongtitle for the lowercase first letter. —Simetrical (talk) 16:59, 4 August 2005 (UTC)

Given the fact that the name "Copy Control" survives translation into several languages, it seems to me to be the proper way to write it.  — Peter L <talk|contribs> 16:45, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Page name 

message: Copy control is stupid. You would think the brains would be able to come up with some way of stopping copying while still actually letting you listen to the thing! Most people I know listen to CDs on their computer, so this est tres stupide in my opinion! Looks like Demon Days isn't getting listened to until I find a computer that gets round the copy control.

thread_title: Gah!

message: I recently bought a CD with this foolish copy control technology on it and couldnt listen to it at all.
Clearly music companies care more about stopping piracy than providing a consumer product that actually works.
These technologies only hurt legitimate listeners as dedicated rippers shrug off any new advancments in CP tech and get right back to ripping while the rest of us law abiding citizens hear nothing but dead silence from our speakers.
The message is clear...buy a pirated copy...sure its illegal but it actually works considering the ripper has kindly removed any meddlesome code on the CD-R for you.
Of course theres the thin coating of snack food oil and the hefty smell of cigarette smoke to contend with as you leaf through the photocopied insert but...at least it works when you play it!
:..how does that even help the problem? Just buy a non-copy controlled version of the disc, I'm pretty sure they do exist (though that may be in a 'deluxe' pack or something). By refusing to buy the CDs, you make record companies think they need to go to even stricter measures to prevent piracy, you're not 'sending a message' to the companies to stop the shit, you're justifying their claims and actions.

thread_title:  All about ruining CDs 

message: When I insert the disc into the computer, the program will start automatically. You may choose "Accept" or "Decline". But before choosing, the anti-copy software is already installed. Also no matter I choose "Accept" or "Decline", the software still treat me as clicking "Accept" and let me use the player. Is it illegal for doing this by the company?
For some CD, there is only a "CCCD" logo (such as Joey Yung - "Ten Most Wanted") but no more details telling me it can not be copied. Is it also illegal for doing this by the company?
On most DVDS, there is a notice saying "It is illegal to avoid the copy-protection on this DVD".

replies: text: In the EULA (End User License Agreement), it states that it will only install the software if you agree to the agreement, and will not install the software (and you shouldn't be able to listen to the music, even though plenty of people have gotten around that.) And about the DVD thing, it may be  illegal to avoid copy protection, but it is not illegal to control the software that you (inadvertibly) install on your computer system.--the Patman of Wiki 18:12, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Is it illegal? 

message: This is one of those articles that are likely to contain "Weasel Words", I have thus tagged it as such. --Mb1000 23:48, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Weasel Words" 

message: DO they still use this?? Singers should be willing to lose money to their fans, instead of wating it on copy protect which people hack through anywayz!!! Realg187 17:44, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Dumb 

message: The article appears to contain both references to "Copy Control", the specific method of protection, and "copy control", the general principle of trying to restrict copying.  Needs to be kept specific to the Copy Control system, with more general information outsourced to a more general article (wherever that might be, copy protection or something).  81.104.170.167 15:55, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Agree it's confused: Copy Control isn't even the name of a specific method/system, but rather a standard record industry label used on a variety of anti-ripping technologies.  The article needs to make this clear. 84.65.52.209 07:07, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Confused article 

message: :Image:Cdda.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is  other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

message: There seems to be a severe lack of mention of the great controversy this scheme has caused, and its contribution to great public distrust of DRM.
