This means such gems as the following:
Q: Why is the music scrambled when I try to play the CD on my computer?
A: Please note that the only supported way to play the music directly off the CD in a computer is to use the MediaMax software interface that runs automatically when the CD is inserted.
And this is my particular favorite(in bold)....Q: Can I transfer this CD to my iPod?
A: Apple's proprietary technology does not support secure music formats other than their own, and therefore the secure music file formats on this disc can’t be directly imported into iTunes or iPods.
While these discs aren’t currently compatible with iTunes or iPod, we are actively working on an acceptable solution, and have reached out to Apple in hopes of addressing this issue. To help speed this effort, we ask that you use the following link to contact Apple and ask them to provide a solution that would easily allow you to move content from protected CDs into iTunes or onto your iPod. http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipod.html
Even though there is no direct support on the disc for iTunes or iPod, we have worked out a way for consumers to move content into these environments for some CDs, despite the challenges noted above. If you’d like more information on how to move content to iTunes please click to create a ticket.
These people sidestep questions better than Bush does..Q: How can I copy the music at a higher bitrate?
A: Please note that in order to fit a second session with bonus features onto the CD we had to make a compromise on the encoding size for the music files.
The current bitrate of 128kbps has been deemed to be acceptable by the music industry. That being said, we realize that CD buyers have their own bitrate preferences and as such, we are currently working on a version of the software that will allow CD buyers to choose the bitrate of their choice..
These fucking music industry people make my wanna stop listening to music altogether.Q: Is there a way to remove your software from my computer?
A: Please note that MediaMax was designed to manage and safeguard the copyrights of specified artists' CDs while giving you an enhanced visual and listening experience. It does not interfere with or impact any of the normal operations and/or functions of your computer.
