    "A US record company has issued reviewers with portable CD players that are glued shut to prevent two new albums from being pirated online before their official releases.

    Epic Records Group has taken the drastic step of sealing CD players shut and gluing headphones onto them to stop digital copies being made from promotional albums. The albums involved are Riot Act by Pearl Jam and Scarlet's Walk by Tori Amos."
