Sony offers new CDs, MP3s for recalled discs

In response to widespread security worries over copy protection technology, Sony BMG Music Entertainment Company released a recall program. The program will allow customers to exchange newly purchased Compact Discs (with copy protection) for new discs and MP3s. Originally, the copy protection was intended to prevent piracy. However, the original copy protected CDs

Beginning Friday, November 18, customers can mail in their affected CDs back to the company following the instructions on the corresponding record label’s website. Once confirmed, the customer will be sent a link via email to download the replacement MP3s.
