I've stopped buying anything from EMI, who label all their new CDs with
the "copy protection" logo. I've had problems with such CDs in the past.
If I can't play a CD on all of my CD players (my stereo at home, my PC at
work, or in my car), then EMI's product is worthless to me.

I've also sent a friendly email to various EMI artists outlining my
decision not to buy their latest CD.

There's plenty of music out there, and cutting EMI copy-protected product
out of the list doesn't make much of a difference to my listening pleasure.
