They do look cool. It may just be my player, but the Alpine unit in my truck does not like them. :|

ummm, who goes around "looking for pirated CDs?" unless the RIAA now has the ability to violate the Bill of Rights and search your home without cause... oh wait, they can do that. they can enter your computer and search for MP3s. man, i guess we are on step closer to a totalitarian state. thanks bush-ashcroft-RIAA-MPAA!

Not to turn this into a political thread... but if you're gonna blame something on someone, get the facts straight.

Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DCMA) :

On October 28, 1999, President Clinton signed the DCMA (Public Law 105-304) into U.S. law - so you can't put this one off on the current administration.

he's not talking about copyright law he's talking about privacy laws.

That Act is what the RIAA is hiding it's civil rights violations with.

Many car players don't like dark dyes and the verbatims have the darkest (deep blue azo).

 

[Simulat]

Damn, those are slick.

 

[dlaw]

They look great, just too expensive compare to normal CDRs......well, essentially any CDRs not free....are not considered cheap anyway.

 

[Mallow]

done and done. 0.50 for novelty value

 

[dethman]

will make a nice gift for some old people i know.

 

[azoomee]

They look very cool.

The Republican Congress sent the bill to him, didn't it?

The DCMA is not the important laws. The Net initiative (is that what it's called?!?) and others that were approved last year by Bush is what important. They allow you to be thrown in jail for have a certain amount of prirated material in your home and so on. Another scary one is the terrorism stuff that was recently passed to. It reminds me of the stuff they mentioned in Enemy of the State. No matter what were all in trouble

...coming down from the pulpit
These look nice especially if you can put on labels that make them look like records. Over in chubby wallet someone put up scans of records that you can probably use as labels to make them more realistic. I think I'll be trying these out, my aiwa system has a clear glass top and having one of these spinning or stopped inside will make look very interesting.

These are cool looking! I'm gonna try designing some CD & DVD labels to look like old 45's - neato

 

[Johneverd]

Very cool looking. HERE is a close up picture.

I bought a couple of packs, and have a question. Is there enough room on the label to write anything? Looks like Verbatim took up most of the area with their logo and branding.

Just stick a label on top of their label.

Yeah, but that would defeat the purpose of buying those CD's IMO

 

[slydecix]

Yeah they would make kickass gifts

I hope you guys are joking that you think it's lame that you can be thrown in jail for STEALING
