Sony XCP

I am not a pirate, but I do mind being called one. Sony's XCP is the same exact thing as racial profiling at airports. Except that instead of security personnel thinking you look like an arab, Sony thinks you look like a pirate. And that hurts, it really bothers me being compared to the sleazy guy in Revere Beach with the trunk of his Grand Torinofull of bachata and reggeton CDs.

The other day I bought a CD (labeled Sony/Epic), it has this very large FBI warning on both covers yet no indications of having XCP - but do you think for a minute that I will pop it into my PC? I have been avoiding playing it on the PC, only on the other regular players at home - and you know what, I feel like on house arrest. I do all of my work at the PC and having to ban the CD from the CD-ROM drive is punishment for a crime I did not commit [insert The Figitive theme here]. And, no, I will not disable Auto Play - if I disable Auto Play then the terrorist have won.
