Here’s my rant for today….
So, I’ve found something very very VERY irritating lately. Copywrited CDs. Yes, I understand downloading music and all that is bad, but the copywrited format that was on the latest Stratovarius and now the new Nothingface (after writing, add Slaves on Dope to this list too!) CD take away my ability to even PLAY the cd in my computer. I listen to and preview most (if not all) of my CDs on the computer. This poses a problem!! I know I’m not the only one that does this! I do listen to CDs (on the computer…it’s my only option) all day at work, and I listen to them (on the computer) at home as well. Some of these Copy protected CDs are nice enough to put a CD player application on the data portion of the disc, so yes, I can still listen to it on the computer, but still not CD player program I like to use! Sorry for the rant, but, it’s getting out of hand already, and I can’t help but think that it will affect airplay on some stations in the long run.
On another note, Hockey Playoffs are still in full force, and they are quite exciting this year. It’s still the first round, and tomorrow night (tues, 4/22) there are THREE game 7’s! Do or die! Also, there have been a lot of Overtime games, it’s just really exciting stuff for a Hockey fan.
Just about into Round 2 of the NHL Stanley Cup playoffs, but at the same time, the NBA Playoffs just started. Well, I’ve never really been a basketball fan, and I jumped on the Hockey bandwagon just a few years ago… but this article sums things up fairly well comparing the post seasons of the NHL and NBA:
