Why I won’t buy the new Coldplay CD
January 2nd, 2006 | Published in Music, News, Ranting
Turns out that Coldplay (or, at very least, Coldplay’s label) doesn’t really understand their audience. I like Coldplay well enough. Our household has purchased (legally, with actual money) all of their CDs in the past. But, no longer. Their latest CD apparently comes with anti-piracy technology that prevents the disk being ripped to MP3 (ie: no iPod, no iTunes) or played on certain car stereos (!?!) among other things.
Well, thanks but no thanks. Call me when you stop treating your customers and fans like thieves.
