"Copy Control Technology"...??? bad cd audio

I hate that, though. If I bother to drive my ass to the store to return
something, I don't want another one, I want my friggin money back, but no
one will give it back anymore, will they?
Not in this case (or even with opened software) because it's quite
possible that you:
- listened to it and just plain didn't like it
- copied it (so simple only a child can do it) and don't need it
- really want it, and they want to keep your money and have you try
again just in case it's really defective.
They all want to give you a store credit
I doubt that in the case of intellectual property, they'll even give
you store credit. Only an exchange for another of the same. I wouldn't
mind store credit since I'd eventually use it anyway, maybe even that
same day. I've bought hardware at places like Best Buy and returned it
for a cash refund with no problem.
It didn't used to be that way, but unfortunately too many bad apples
have spoiled the bunch. Believe it or not, there really were people
who would buy a record or CD, copy it, and then return it for a
refund. That's not the reason why record stores are in business.
That's why we have libraries, and why some music stores have listening
stations - Usually they're loaded with only for the top selling items,
but at least you can listen to other cuts on the CD besides the one
you hear on the radio to see if it's a one-hit wonder or if there's
more material on there that you might like.
