A French court has ruled that music compact discs which include functions to prevent copying amount to faulty goods and that buyers must be reimbursed.

The court made its decision on Tuesday on the basis of a CD produced by EMI France of a song by the French singer Alain Suchon entitled "J'veux du live" (I want it live).

French consumer group UFC-Que Choisir is campaigning against the use of technical devices by manufacturers to prevent their CDs from being read by, or played on, computers, car radios or even some hi-fi audio systems.

The association also objects to the fact that manufacturers protect CDs in Europe against copying but do not do so in the United States, fearing legal action against them there.

Another association, the CLCV confederation concerned with consumers, housing and quality of life, won a similar victory in June when a French court decided that a protected CD must carry a warning that it cannot be read by certain players.

We can hope, that this falls also to Roxette recordings...
