To get around this, all you need is a portable CD player, a 1/8" cable to connect to the Line in jack of your sound card, and a program that records wave files. (in any operating system) Then, you've got the song on your computer without any digital restrictions at all.

Yeah until they start requiring everyone to buy special speakers and sound cards that don't allow that.

20 years ago I was quite happy with putting a cassette recorder up against the speakers...life was simpler then...
But we really don't have to worry about even using the line-in trick yet.

The thing is, there is not a single form of copy protection that works. The only copy protection that works half-assed is the gay CD key system. Even then, that only works half-assed for ONLINE play. The whole client to server thing could probably be cracked by a master cracker, but no one has any interest(because master crackers are probably too intellectually above the average script kiddy gamer).
I can't figure out why there is outcry about XP's copy protection shafting innocent users more then pirates, yet no one talks about how the CD key system for computer games does the exact same thing. :mad:
Errr anyways, point being is that:
1)This "new" copy protection will be ineffectual.
2)100% of "uncrackable" copy protection schemes from the corps will be cracked by crackers.

You cant blame them for wanting to stop piracy, im sure there will be Linux support... eventually.
