Key2Audio is the first step in a dreadful double perversion of Fair Use. The first perversion is the idea that by making a copy of music for yourself, you are depriving the copyright holder of the ability to obtain revenue from selling you additional copies of the same music. The second, linked, perversion is that by destroying your ability to exercise fair use, the record company extends its copyright power beyond the content (the music) to the delivery medium (the CD).

I’ve already printed out Apple’s guide to ejecting the disc. I
heard about it from my daily Slashdock sources awhile ago. Fortunately, I’m too poor to
buy many new CDs anyway, and don’t really buy any of the mainstream stuff
that does that shit.
