Analysts have poured scorn on music industry attempts to nip the proliferation of Napster-like services in the bud by developing copy-proof CDs.
Bertelsmann, EMI, Sony, Universal Music and Warner are already running low profile field tests on CDs that cannot be copied or 'ripped' on a PC and then compressed through the MP3 file format which made Napster possible.
However, Jupiter analyst Aram Sinnreich told Reuters that copy protected CDs would provoke a consumer backlash.
He said: "Consumers are going to run screaming from these kinds of solution. This could be much more of a PR hazard for (the record labels) than Napster ever was."
