CD crack: Magic marker indeed (also available via CNET) (Sony's new copy-protection scheme for what it still claims are "compact discs" -- an irritating scheme that distorts the data, preventing legitimate purchasers from played CDs they've bought and paid for on CD/DVD players, car CD players, and computers -- apparently can be defeated simply by writing on the disk's rim with a felt-tip pen. So, is the pen mightier than the RIAA, or will the RIAA seek to ban felt-tip pens next?)
