THANK YOU, Flying Dog Records!

So I purchased the FictionJunction LIVE 2008-2010 CD. First of all, it had the beloved "Compact Disc Digital Audio" sign, which means it's probably not copy-protected. But the biggest surprise came when I opened it in my PC and... guess what?... It contained all songs in MP3, OGG and FLAC!!!! ☺ ☺ ☺

Nowadays, one of the most common things to do once you purchase a CD is to rip it so you can listen to it on your PC/phone/mobile device/whatever. Most companies try to stop you from doing that. In the process, they become so strict that we've probably all seen cases where you buy a CD, realize it won't play on your car stereo/old CD player/whatever, put it back into its box and download the music so you can listen to it. Of course, this means you probably won't buy the next CD because it will be useless anyway. And then you see great record companies such as Flying Dog Records saying "okay, these songs will be ripped anyway, so here you go". THANKS! ☺
