Ive got a Panasonic 50x cd-rom and its got a little hole in it where you stick a paper clip or something to manually eject a cd. Other folks might not be so lucky. Well, one guy figured out you can use a marker to cancel the copy protection. Someone else will figure out how to rip it. Theres always a way around this sort of thing.

It will cause them more headaches than it's worth in the end I'm sure. That bit of data may even be considered "Malicious code". That will make them sweat. They're taking advantage of the media recognition software in the CD player itself. I'm sure SOny CD's will be boycotted by computer users everywhere.

One thing - most CD-ROMs have a manual eject hole, which should enable you to remove the disc.

How long do you think it will take a Sony competitor to come up with a CD drive for computers that can skip the "unskippable" track?

I'm not advocating piracy, but I'm sure that "some" people might be more inclined to download illegal copies of the songs on these protected CD's just so they don't have to screw with Sony's bullshit copy protection. This will bite sony in the a$$ sooner or later. Most likely sooner.
