I wonder if the text of their copy-protection rules is itself copy-protected:

Cold Play

THIS CD IS A COPY PROTECTED CD

Thank you very much for purchasing this CD and helping the cause of "Anti-Piracy". The recordings in this CD have an anti-copying function. They cannot be copied into a PC. In order for you to enjoy high quality music, we have added this special technology.

Before using, please read the following:

USAGE GUIDELINES:

This CD cannot be burnt onto a CD-R or hard disk, nor can it be converted into MP3 for file sharing.

This CD has been manufactured for usage in regular CD players but might not play in the following players:

* Some CD players that have the capability of burning into an MP3 (such as portable players or car stereos)
* Some CD players that possess CD-R/RW functions (such as portable players or car stereos)
* Some car steros with satellite "Guidance" systems
* Some CD players or car stereos with hard disk recording capability
* Some CD-R/RW Recorders used for music
* Some portable CD players

Although you can use your PC's Windows program to listen to certain tracks, this does not mean that the CD can be played in all PC's.

The first time that this program is used (in Windows automatic starter software) it gets registered in Windows File. Thus, programs already registered do not affect Windows operation.

Windows OS also uses the latest files.

This CD does not support MacIntosh PC software.

Except for manufacturing problems, we do not accept exchange, return or refund.
