they just had a case about this in europe i believe. i had heard that they do put something on the case, or mention it in the agreement thing that pops up when you open it but no-one either notices them or reads them. i believe they also ruled that all disclaimers regarding the copy right protection must be easy to read and blatant. whatever that means.
i understand the desire for such tactics now but it sucks for those who just want to make compilations from their own cd's. i suppose copyright protection outways fair use. blame the peeps that abuse it, not the companies that try to protect their stuff.
if i'm wrong, and they don't disclaim -- they should all spend eternity in hell on the level reserved for peeps who eff up puters.
