In yet another preposterously idiotic step in the ongoing clash of music companies with "music pirates," new CDs by Tori Amos and Pearl Jam are being distributed to reviewers inside Sony WalkMans that are glued shut and with headphones glued on (NY Times link - free registration required). So according to the letter of the DMCA, "humans are now circumvention devices" if they figure out how to get the players open ;-). How asinine is this?
