Oh No - There's Greed In The Music Business
Saturday, January 05, 2002 By: Juan Paxety
U.S. Rep. Rick Boucher, D-Va., is taking a look at the music industry's latest money collecting scheme. Upset by us homefolks who make our own mixes of music and copy them to CD, the record companies are now making CDs that are not readable by a computer CR-ROM.
