T series has put some copy protection mechanism in the TZP music CDs. It produces clicks and pops if played in a computer CDROM. I initially thought the CD was defective and got it replaced and the same clicks and pops and in 4 different computers. If T series is so conscious about its revenue, it should have the ethical decency to mention on the cover that the CD has copy protection on it and might not play properly in some CDROM drives. But since this is India, I guess you can take the customer for a ride. Of course they don't fail to mention "Downloads available on Itunes". And with Amir Khan's face sitting big on the CD cover, I can't believe he was not privy to this underhand job. I can't help but think the guy is a "pseud" - with his goof ups like I read a few days ago he tried to cover up his buying an agricultural land by saying he comes from a family of farmers to his not accepting Filmfare awards (coz he thinks the awards are manipulated) but anyway does not make any vocal objection to his films being selected in the first place. As for T series, it is ironical with the kind of history they have how they made it big (initially), they are pioneering copy protection now. Anyway I am not surprised that they don't find it their responsibility to inform their customers what they are actually selling - no ethics in the begining, none even now.

The movie is good but falls apart when aamir enters ....it seemed that first and sec half were written by two diff individuals.........but still the efforst should be applauded.......with all the dhooms and jhooms this was a welcome change in Hindi cinema .... aamir is a huge fan of Calvin and Hobbes .. ..but never the less he should have bought the rights …..
