- Source: List of compact discs sold with Extended Copy Protection
The following compact discs, sold by Sony BMG, were shipped with the computer software known as Extended Copy Protection (XCP). 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. MacOS systems that were used to play these CDs may have been affected with a similar program, MediaMax.
Album list
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.
