Exactly what I was about to suggest.   ;)

Doctor V:
I was describing a hypothetical situation guys.  Where prefect copy frotection was in place, the content cartel and microsoft are spending big bucks on it.  Since now they target hardware (fritz chips), is not impossible however unlikely that they could make it so computers cannot play music while recording.  I know its not going to happen either, but its what they have been trying to do.  They tried to get copy protection to be made a legal necessity in every digital device.

Longhorn will most likely use DRM "protection" for its entire system.  

What worries me most is this:

"Along with simple locks that prevent CD ripping and copying, the Hamilton disc includes computer-ready files that can be transferred to a PC, a Macintosh computer and many MP3 players."
...
"The disc will also provide a link that can be shared with other people, who can download copies of the album's music and then listen to it for 10 days."

Their hides a big lie in this.
They still claim all the DRM stuff is placed on the disc(hardware), then they claim you can do this limited download.
That's impossible.
If you download a file(software) that doesn't contain any DRM information you would be able to copy it WITHOUT the 10 days limitation.
So the software has to contain parts of the DRM code (which you can't see and controle yourself).
 
Looks like a way to spy on people (and again an other reason for not using Longhorn).
