Not really. If their friend want to hear a song all they have to do is do a serch in a P2P program. Lets see just did a serch...82 hits for "Ch-Check It Out" at 256 kbps and a total of 2506 hits at 192 kbps so obviously this isnt stopping any one from ripping the music.
What these ploys are hindering is the consumers ability to play their store bought CD's on equipment other then a standard stereo system.
Obviously the issue at hand is the fact that people are sharing their music but what I am critisizing is the way the music industry is dealing with this issue.
