Cyndi Lauper CD Gets Hacked
Fans looking to reminisce with 80's icon Cyndi Lauper and her new CD, The Body Acoustic, may want to consider a digital purchase via iTunes rather than a traditional CD.Cyndi's record label, Sony, has a new anti-piracy scheme that has been breached by hackers. The faulty Sony software may prevent you from making copies of your CDs, but it unfortunately also provides a security hole for viruses to enter your computer.
Beyond the issues with Sony's faulty anti-piracy technology, this album is a fun acoustic makeover of Cyndi's greatest hits. The album features several guest appearances including Adam Lazzara, Shaggy, Sarah McLachlan, Vivian Green, Ani DiFranco, and Jeff Beck.
Here's the track listing from The Body Acoustic. Click on the links below to hear 30 second samples of each song from:
01. Money Changes Everything (ft. Adam Lazzara)
02. All Through The Night (ft. Shaggy)
03. Time After Time (ft. Sarah McLachlan)
04. She Bop
05. Above The Clouds (ft. Jeff Beck)
06. I'll Be Your River (ft. Vivian Green)
07. Sisters Of Avalon (ft. Ani di Franco & Vivian Green)
08. Shine
09. True Colors
10. Water's Edge (ft. Sarah McLachlan)
11. Fearless
12. Girls Just Want To Have Fun (ft. Puffi AmiYumi)
Bottom Line: The Body Acoustic is a great album with horrible CD copy-protection software that makes your computer a target for viruses. If the security and integrity of your computer is important to you, then Cyndi Lauper fans may want to purchase this album via iTunes and not from Amazon.com or your local record store.
last friday Sony to temporarily suspend making music CDs with antipiracy technology that can leave computers vulnerable to hackers.
