Does anyone know how I can crack or bypass the "copy control" system that new CDs have?

i saw in the newspaper that one copy control system could be bypassed by marking the outter edge of the disc with a black felt pen. though, i wouldn't recommend doing that until you got a second opinion.

Came across this whilst at work today, I can't personally say that if it works or not, though.

Oh, for the RIAA, until you can assure me that people like Mark Stewart and the estate of the late David McComb get their money instead of people who don't need it, like Prince or Madonna........

Didn't know about the "shift" key trick, but I can confirm that if you don't install the player software then you can copy the disc just like you would any other.

Didn't realise I was being clever by not installing the software, it's just that I don't listen to music on my PC, so didn't see the need for it...
