SonyBMG plans to begin the new year with a batch of freshly pressed music cds that will feature copy protection 
technology from First 4 Internet. First 4 Internet's technology encodes the music files with a heavy encryption that 
allows standard cd players to playback the music. There are also additional data files on the CD that further enhance 
encryption. All of which is easily bypassed by simply holding down the shift button when you load the CD into a PC.
