Music distributor Sony BMG said Monday it is withdrawing music CDs shipped with the controversial XCP copy protection scheme from retail shelves and plans to set up a program for consumers to exchange CDs with XCP copy protection. The company says details of the consumer exchange program should be announced later in the week; in the meantime, Sony BMG hopes that pulling some of its most popular CDs from retailers will go a long way towards restoring consumer confidence that, if a customer buys a CD by a Sony artist, the disk not going to interfere with their computer or create a security hole.
