EMI Copy-Protection

I was most purturbed to discover that my newly-purchased recording of Lief Ove Andsnes' acclaimed performances of the Grieg and Schumann piano concerti was copy-protected. I resolved to overcome said protection.

Several hours later I was successful, and the album now plays in lossless (.APE) format from my hard disk. Of course, if the DMCA were ever imported into Australian law, what I just did would be classed as circumvention, and deemed a federal offence! Ridiculous.
