Music Industry Unveils New Piracy-Proof Format: A Black, Plastic Disc With
Grooves On It 
  

Music bosses have unveiled a revolutionary new recording format that they
hope 
will help win the war on illegal file sharing which is thought to be costing
the 
industry millions of dollars in lost revenue.

Nicknamed the 'Record', the new format takes the form of a black, vinyl disc
measuring 12 inches in diameter, which must be played on a specially
designed 
'turntable'. 

"We can state with absolute certainty that no computer in the world can
access 
the data on this disc," said spokesman Brett Campbell. "We are also
confident 
that no-one is going to be able to produce pirate copies in this format
without 
going to a heck of a lot of trouble. This is without doubt the best
anti-piracy 
invention the music industry has ever seen."
