Sony Yanks Copy-Protected CDs
PC World - Wed Nov 16,11:00 AM ET

After two weeks of relentless criticism over its XCP copy protection software, Sony BMG Music Entertainment is pulling CDs that contain the software from store shelves. The company is also planning to offer customers a way to exchange CDs that contain the flawed copy-protection software. "We share the concerns of consumers regarding discs with the XCP software, and we are instituting a program that will allow customers to exchange any CD with XCP software for the same CD without copy protection," Sony said in a statement posted on Tuesday.
