Hum, maybe that title could be clearer...

From The Register:

EMI recalls DRM-encumbered CD

But if you read the article itself, what did they replace it by?

Now EMI says it's removing the settings, which it says were put in place accidentally, and is offering an exchange. Fans can swap a version of the CD that doesn't allow any copies to be made for one that permits three burns - as the record company intended.

This reminds me of the recent TiVo story where TiVo started listening to the new macrovision broadcast flag, and where a provider inadvertently blocked a show from being kept longer than 7 days or so.

Anyways, I'm not sure the "fans" will be MUCH happier.
