From Tom Burka —
Major record labels, CD and DVD manufacturers decided today that they would hitherto release only CD’s and DVD’s in permanently sealed, unopenable packages to combat piracy.
“We feel that the packaging we have used so far, which hinders the buyer from opening his purchase for a good ten to fifteen minutes, was too tentative and weak,” said Blad Futtworth, a musician and representative of the RPMAA, an anti-piracy group.
