If you know that the distribution of Depeche Mode - back catalog is made by EMI, one is naturally a little surprised, as this record company now, equipping almost all CDs, which are intended for a wide audience with copy protection (example from last year: The remastered John Lennon - albums are copy-protected, the remastered version of the album Barracuda "drop out" is not).
What is not to be surpassed in audacity, is the fact that the more expensive "Deluxe Editions" (Hybrid SACD + DVD) these albums are not copy-protected.
So this is "social" market economy: All the rich are allowed to music in Super Audio - Listen to quality and copy, all others are pirates and get music only in inferior quality sold.
