Some personal notes on the early version (CDS100?
Shield: I bought a copy of _My Private War_, by Phillip Boa & The Voodoo Club, from an online retailer. The disc is labeled “Kopiergeschtzte CD – nicht am pc abspielbar” which translates literally to “copy-protected CD – not at the PC playable”. Supposedly this is one of the BMG discs that was protected with Midbar’s first product. The Plextor Plextools utility saw it as a single-session audio CD with 13 tracks, but when I asked it to play the disc it only saw the first 28 seconds of the first track, and stopped after playing just that much. My Panasonic CD “boom box” also thought the disc was only 28 seconds long, but it happily played past that point, and would let me select any track. The page at http://uk.eurorights.org/issues/cd/docs/natimb.shtml has an analysis of the CD _White Lilies Island_ by Natalie Imbruglia. http://www.cdrinfo.com/Sections/Articles/Specific.asp?ArticleHeadline=Cactus%20Data%20Shield%20200&index=0 has a very thorough examination of a CDS200 disc.
