[edit] Removal of Extended Copy Protection info

I would like to know why the Extended Copy Protection info was removed from this article. This is a very controversial feature added to many CDs and this album was specifically identified by the EFF as one of the albums containing it. I'm not sure what your issue with the passage was. Do you feel that it was too POV, somehow factually incorrect or irrelevant to encyclopedic information on the album itself? We can certainly change the tone of the passage if that is your concern. --DropDeadGorgias (talk) 20:56, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

Cross-posted I'd suggest that it is neither POV nor irrelevant, but that it is a little long. Since there exists an article on this, um, "feature", I'd further suggest that a single-line summary, such as "ALBUM NAME was identified as being distributed with Sony's invasive Extended Copy Protection software{{ref|EFF}}, which installs itself on computers playing the compact disc." in the article's "Production history" section. The specific article in question is not very long, and I can imagine that User:Adam22z objected to half the article being taken up with this discussion. I write the above assuming that there is no substantial question about the EFF report. Jkelly 22:23, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] oops ...

I added the same warning, but then noticed it had already been added once and then removed. So ... changed it to the much smaller warning found elsewhere. [1] ProveIt 20:37, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
