Title: Liberty is more important than profit
Product review: First of all, let me say the music on Ben's latest won't disappoint. It's the same genre skipping, inspirational stuff we've come to expect from him. But I didn't expect Ben Harper to sell out to the lawyers at his record company. His latest CD is embedded with EMI's "copy protection" coding, which prevents the purchaser of this CD from saving the music to your computer's hard drive, ripping it to an iPod, or creating a back up copy for yourself (all perfectly legal activities, by the way). Yah, sure there's ways to break the code, surf the web long enough and you'll find a way. But that's not the point. And if this came from some shallow, money grubbing bubble gum musician I could accept it. But from the guy who used to sing about giving power to the people? What happened to the real Ben Harper? What a disappointment.
