[luau] NEWS: New Copyprotected CD's destroy iMacs

[Joe Linux]

Basically this type of copy protection is like the old PC software copy 
protection schemes of yesteryear.  Basically the industry had to give it 
up because it caused so many problems.  My guess is people will avoid 
buying music and games that are on the copy protected CD's.  In the end 
the record companies will sell less copies than if the disks could be 
freely copied.
