Sucking Taken to a New Level

Not that anyone needs more reasons to hate Coldplay, but check out this story about the copy protection and rules on their latest CD.

What are the other rules? Here are some gems: "This CD can't be burnt onto a CD or hard disc, nor can it be converted to an MP3" and "This CD may not play in DVD players, car stereos, portable players, game players, all PCs and Macintosh PCs." Best of all, the insert explains that this is all "in order for you to enjoy a high quality music experience." Now, that's quality.

Link via Atrios, who makes Coldplay the first wankers of 2006. A great honor indeed!
