Huh. I bought the US "Limited Edition", it didn't mention "copy controlled"
anywhere on the packaging, I threw it in the drive and immediately ripped it
without trouble using RipperX (without "paranoid" mode or whatever turned on,
even.)
Wonderful CD incidentally, the pre-release copy I got months ago must have
been remixed or something before release because the final version really
sparkles. I'd never recommend anyone buy a so-called "copy controlled" CD by
any artist though. They might as well have a sticker on the front that says
"Don't buy me, pirate me instead!" on those discs.
