DRMed DVD problems
I have a CD (Ray) which has some kind of DRM protection on it. So whenever i play it back on my computer (not RIP, just play) - i hear very irritating clicks and noises in the audio track. The noise is present when I play back the CD on my portable mp3 player. I tried ripping the track into MP3, but the clicks were still persistent. It doesn't happen when i playback the same CD on my audio player at home. So essentially, I am tied down with this CD which I can only use at home - i can't use it at office or elsewhere. Looks like they're *asking* me to download pirated MP3s!!

This guy over here had similar problems with his DRMed DVD:
