List of compact discs sold with Extended Copy Protection
(Redirected from List of compact discs sold with XCP)
The following compact discs, sold by Sony BMG, were shipped with the computer software known as Extended Copy Protection (XCP).[1] As a result, any Microsoft Windows computer that has been used to play these CDs is likely to have had XCP installed. This can cause a number of serious security problems. Several security software vendors, including Microsoft, regard XCP as a trojan horse, spyware, or rootkit.[2] MacOS systems that were used to play these CDs may have been affected with a similar program, MediaMax.[3]

Note: Three titles — Ricky Martin, "Life"; Peter Gallagher, "7 Days in Memphis"; and a limited number of “Hidden Beach Presents Unwrapped Vol. 4” — were released with a content protection grid on the back of the CD packaging but XCP content protection software was not actually included on the albums.[4]
