Duffman writes "I can't believe this. I guess that the new Celine Dion CD will lock up your iMac. I guess there is a warning, but locking the drive shut, then locking up the computer so that it has to be sent for repairs? Does anyone else think that this is abusing fair use just a little bit?" We spoke about this last month, but this appears to be confirmation that it actually does crash your computer (if it's an iMac, apparently). New Scientist also has an article that has more info.
