That's right. If you purchase this disk, it will refuse to share media files with other users because they haven't been "licensed". There's a lot of talk about how organizations like RIAA are hurting consumers, but there's group here that has been hurt even more. I challenge you to get together with a bunch of your friends and find any commercial building which will allow you to just hang out and play music together in public. And should you actually record that music and put it on the web--watch idiot companies like this block your ability to share it. RIAA wants all music to be commercial. As far as they are concerned, the amateur musician died the day piano rolls were introduced.
