I picked up the new Bowling For Soup album a few days ago when I was vacationing in Texas.  This is a great band with some great tunes.

It turns out, however, that I didn't buy a CD, but a CD impostor.

Most of my music collection is from the 60s-90s, so my purchases of modern CDs has been few and far between.  Imagine my annoyance when I find that my BFS CD of “A Hangover You Don't Deserve” wouldn't play in my computer (I know, some of you are laughing at me already).  Seems their new CD has all sorts of nasty copy protection designed to prevent me from copying their songs and uploading it to the world.  This has been noted by other people as well.  ok, I guess I have no choice but to deal with this.

But wait, it gets better: It doesn't play in my car either.

I'm sorry, but this is categorically wrong.  I've been sold something that is shaped like a CD, but isn't a CD.  Why can't they sell these things in triangle-shaped packages that has a clear warning like, “This damn thing won't play in your stupid car's CD player!!”?

Does anybody else have to put up with this crap?
