Boycott This CD !

[slim]

I went to buy this album yesterday. On the label it states that the CD is protected from copying. We have a right to make copies of CDs we purchase as long as we don't distribute them to others. I make copies for my car, my wife, and my son. I like to make copies so the original does not get scratched. Why should I have to buy 3 or 4 copies of what I already own?
Screw RCA and Velvet Revolver both. I'm a long time GNR fan, but I won't be a fan of this new joke of a band!
BOYCOTT VELVET REVOLVER! SHOW THE RECORD LABELS WE WILL NOT STAND FOR THIS!
p.s. If you just have to have it, get it from iTunes. At least you get 10 copies. Then you can convert the CD to MP3, and make as many copies as you want for all your freinds. That's what they deserve!

dude, what are you specting from AXL in a few months?
I bet my life that if you make one copy of CHINESE DEMOCRACY, NASA will know and you?ll be hurted like Jesus in that PASSION OF CHRIST film...

If Axl ever releases CHINESE DEMOCRACY, it'll be a damn miracle. Dude's brain is toast.

Oh, so they are a joke of a band because of this? Because there is a copy protection on the CD so that people don't rip them off by copying it and not buying it? I admit that it's not fair to the people who buy it and want to copy it to protect the original, but sometimes the innocent have to suffer because of stupid people with stupid intentions. That's life.

Boycott a band to protest about copying protection - u wot?

As if the band has any say as to whether its installed or not.

[darkmonth]

Just put the fucking CD in and say NO when it asks to install the 'vital' software.  I copied it to my PC and to my work PC fine.  Now my Contraband can stay in its case safe and sound while I listen to my 192kbps MP3's

[starchild_666]

boycott Contraband? no way... I'm rwady to buy 10 copies  

[Imfuckincrazy]

Exactly... I don't see how that makes them a joke...

Too bad music piracy is not wrong, despite what the millionaires might tell you. I can get into a huge debate over this but there is no point trying to change someone's mind.

Make a great album, people will buy it. Lower CD prices, people will buy it.

[Jizzo]

Copyright protection is the way of the future.

Plus do you really think VR went to RCA and said I don't want people making copies of our cd?

[Booker Floyd]

Ill admit, I wasnt too worried when Dave did it, but with Slim now joining the fray, it appears the Contraband boycott is reaching dangerous proportions...

Lets just pray that the band doesnt get dropped by RCA as a result of this.

[Mr Cowbell ?]

This might be the stupidest thread ever started. And I even post sometimes after drinking. Boycott and Album because of a copy block. THE BAND IS A JOKE BECAUSE OF A COPY BLOCK. So if their cd didnt have it THEY WOULD BE GREAT but because they do THEY ARE A JOKE?

IF YOU BUY THEM OF Itunes RCA still gets their money.

But to call them a joke? Boycott all you want but their music shouldnt be a joke just because it has a copy blocker on it.

[Mr Cowbell ?]

Make a great album, people will buy it. Lower CD prices, people will buy it.

Very true if cds were always $9.99 or less (cds cost less then $1 to make) Then I would have twice as many cds as I have now. There is alot of new bands I would like to check out. But when you charge sometimes as much as $17.99 for one cd people arent gonna take a chance on a one hit wonder.  

[vicarious existence]

This reminds me of those idiots on amazon.com who gave contraband 1 star reviews based on the copy protection alone, without saying anything about the music. It's ridiculous.

[Mr Cowbell ?]

I know if you want to listen to the cd and then rate it based on the songs you dont like atleast you have a leg to stand on.

don't blame them blame the reckless downloaders.  Go Buy the Album Everyone!!!!

[RyanMFGs]

I'm sure Velvet Revolver had nothing to do with the copy right protection or whatever it is, so to boycott a great album they worked hard on because of that probably isn't fair, but yeah I like to make a copy for the car that way I won't get the original stolen, but oh well.

[Walk]

No, boycott them because their music sucks.
