they can't
and they want to ban your ability to make a copy for your own security, JUST to make sure you can't help to pirate
well too fuckin bad
tape recorders didn't suddenly get outlawed when people started sneaking them into concerts
the only thing they could be doing that I know of is to put data on a CD so that if you copy from it, you copy a crappy trojan or virus that erases MP3 files
not only would that be difficult to implement, but would risk destroying data that didn't belong to said recording company
which is where that damages exceeding 5k being terrorist activity comes into play
I think they should make CDs like this enigma one I have
only one program so far lets me copy the tracks individually (CDRwin)
every other program either makes a 1 to 1 image file/CD copy or won't copy correctly at all
same with the Y's CD for Turboduo, that one is severly fucked up in just about EVERY ripping program I've tried
tracks from these discs were eventually ripped by me, but far later than most of my other rips, and a HELL of a lot later than any other CD I tried to rip
what I'm saying is making it more difficult to pirate is fine, it will slow down the piracy a bit
but no matter WHAT they do, piracy will still happen
I wonder how much the RIAA costs those companies? hehe
reminds me of the DEA....
