    Some exerpts:
    Belgium-based Test-Achats says new technology that stops CD copying also stops fans playing them on some devices and making legitimate back-up copies.

    The group wants EMI, Universal, Sony and BMG to stop releasing copy-protected CDs and to reimburse fans.
    Industry observers say the lawsuit is the biggest European legal challenge yet to the music industry's practice of releasing copy-protected discs, according to the Reuters news agency.

    The lawsuit is expected to be heard in a Belgium court this week.
    Test-Achats is Test Aankoop (in Dutch)

    Very interesting. I guess with all the frivelous lawsuits filed by the recording studios and associates, etc. that it's about time someone frivelously fired back at them.
