I guess I must be the last one to have heard about this. I just read an
article in the MoneySense section of the Tribune that says that Sony
plans to lock up its CDs so that you will need Sony software to play
them. This is supposedly a move to counter file-sharing systems like
those that succeeded Napster.

I'm not sure that I have all the details right. But if this is the case,
are we reaching an era where it's just not worth it to buy CDs any more?
