Reminds me of a Time Warner audiobook I bought on Martin Luther King, Jr. I tried to load it onto my iPod, but it wouldn’t work, no matter what I tried. Then I discovered that the discs had been so thoroughly copy protected that my CD player couldn’t even play them. I e-mailed Time Warner and they shipped me an updated version of the product. iTunes imported the tracks, but I haven’t had a chance to listen to them.

Wouldn’t that be January 29, 2009?

Aw man, I was gonna post this story with a clever headline like “DRM strips ‘Gears of War’”. But I couldn’t get to TeleRead from work until just now.
