Funny, my copy of straight outta linwood doesn't have any protection... Maybe the record company whent cheapo on the european version then...
He probably doesn't really care, as would be suggested by the tone of "don't download this song" (track 12 on straight outta lynwood) I got the copy of the cd first, then I ordered it from amazon.com and it should be coming in the mail any day now. I support Al and own all his cd's. I have to say though White and Nerdy is primarily the best song on there the others are so-so. But it was worth the $13.99 i paid.
