Sony ditches copy-control CDs

CD

Seems Sony is going through something of a change of heart recently: following its decision to support MP3 in its audio players comes news that, in Japan at least, Sony Music Entertainment is ditching copy-control CDs from November. They claim the reason is "an increase in awareness by music consumers", which we assume is supposed to mean that they've succeeded in educating everyone that copying CDs is a bad thing. Dare we suggest that the truth is simply that they're starting to see the light?
