Celine Dion CD copy protection affects play in SuperDrive

CNET staff
Joachim Schaller reports that "Celine Dion's latest CD (A New Day Has Come) causes serious trouble when put into a SuperDrive. The CD being sold in Germany is protected by Key2Audio from Sony. Here are some facts as reported on a German forum thread:
  • It won't eject via normal methods.
  • Booting into Mac OS 9.2.2 will take up to 30 minutes until the hard disk will start spinning. Booting into Mac OS X works.
  • Corrupt session data could unpredictably affect the drive's firmware.
