Breathtaking arrogance from a spokesperson


Breathtaking arrogance from a spokesperson for an Israeli software company that has provided CD copy-protection tech that incidentally screws up your ability to make copies for personal use, to play on your computer -- in short, to use your property as you see fit within the confines of the law.
Midbar's Noam Zur called copy-protection critics a fringe group that probably are pirates themselves.

"Mainly those people have a large number of compilations on their PCs," Zur said. Midbar's technology protected the Imbruglia CD. Zur dismissed customer complaints and said the CD works on most players.
