Copy restrictions that Music Producers put on Audio CDs is supposed to help reduce music piracy by preventing buyers from burning more than three copies, among other restrictions.
But it remains a work in progress -- songs ripped from the CD don't play on Apple Computer Inc.'s popular iPod digital music player.
And users loading the CD on a PC running Microsoft Corp.'s Windows operating system can easily bypass the protection features by pressing the "shift" key.
