    Before you purchase your next CD, be sure to read the fine print. You may be buying an overpriced drink coaster.
    In an effort to curb music piracy, the recording industry is releasing compact discs with manufacturing flaws. These flaws prompt an error when a CD-recorder tries to duplicate a disc.
    While this might seem like a reasonable solution to the problem of music piracy, the flaws limit the number of devices that will actually read these discs.
    Here is a list of all the bad CDs that we are aware of in the UK at the moment.

    Note that Macs seem to be more resistant to some types of this so-called "copy-protection" than PCs, so if you find that you can extract the tracks on your Mac, don't be too surprised! Also, several people have recommended ExactAudioCopy which permits playback of certain corrupt CDs on Windows.
