Lawsuit against digital copyright-protection on CD's

A California woman has filed a lawsuit against an independent record label for using technology in CD's that blocks people from listening to songs on a computer. The suit alleges that Fahrenheit Entertainment misled consumers by failing to include an adequate disclaimer on CD's encoded with digital copyright-protection software. The lawsuit says that the protected album, "Charley Pride: A Tribute to Jim Reeves," does not offer a disclaimer that it will not operate on computer CD players. It also requires a consumer to register personal information in a proprietary website before downloading the songs onto a computer, raising privacy concerns, the suit says.
