Hi, just saw this on the c't news-ticker (it's in german): http://www.heise.de/newsticker/data/cm-25.01.00-000/ BMG Entertainment has released two CDs that are protected by "Cactus Data Shield" from http://www.midbartech.com and http://www.sonopress.de. Apparently playing and grabbing those CDs on PCs is not possible. One person even had problems playing them on a two year old CD player ! c't is currently testing if S/P-DIF output on CD players is affected as well. BMG has admitted "certain problems" with the protection and has stopped releasing new CDs with protection for now.
