very interesting article. the CD copy protection scheme
seems pretty trivial and easy to get around.
But the scary thing, mentioned at the end, is the idea of
the industry's main goal: getting rid of the CD altogether
and replacing it with new formats that include more secure
copy protection. Like the Dataplay discs.
this is where consumer action will determine the future...
DON'T BUY Dataplay!! Don't buy anything with draconian
copyright technology!! If the consumer refuses, the Culture
Trust will lose. but what they're hoping is that these shiny
new formats will be enticing enough that people will give
away their freedoms.
DON'T LET IT HAPPEN.
