Apple Pulls Support for Copy Protected Discs

Mac users may want to check the labels on their music CDs twice, as copy-protected audio discs flooding the market may lead to serious problems when they are played on some computer systems.
Since copy-protected discs are not standard CDs, Apple Computer says they are not meant to be played on its products. In addition, repairs required to undo damage caused by such discs may not be covered by its warranties.
"Apple designs its CD drives to support media that conforms to (published Compact Disc) standards," Apple said in a report recently posted on its Web site. "Therefore, any attempt to use nonstandard discs with Apple CD drives will be considered a misapplication of the product. Under the terms of Apple's one-year limited warranty, AppleCare Protection Plan, or other Apple Care agreements, any misapplication of the product is excluded from Apple's repair coverage."
The decision speak's quite a bit for Apple's discontent with copyright zealots, though it could be regarded as somewhat extreme in cases.
