I saw this ad. It seems like a good deal. I'm thinking of going down and seeing if they have System of a Down's new(ish) Mesmerize CD. How do I find out if it is a CD or some copy-protected bastard?

search the web for the cd title and if people are having trouble backing it up....

Some say right on the back (or front) of the CD that it uses copy protection. I know some places (like Target) will let you return copy protected CDs even after they've been opened for a refund (due to incompatibility with some drives).

I had no problem ripping my copy of Mezmerize to MP3, so either it's not very good copy protection or it's not copy protected.

I belive all new cds are required to say if they are copy protected or not on the case. The reason being was that Philips (the owner of the CD standard) was talking about suing companies who did copy protection and used the CD trademark label since most copy protection alters a cd from the cd standard.
So at minimum the CD trademarked label shouldn't be there if its copyprotected.
