As someone pointed out: anything you can listen to, you can copy.
So, the last meaning of copy protection for me means the _information_:
So I will put in a CD, an read (scms): "oh, this guy doesn't want me to copy his
CD", "well then I go and buy/dl it..."
or I will read (-copy): "Alright then, I can copy this one..."
the world is good. we are not evil.
cheers, tobias.
So, does
anyone
know how to get a CD out of a player mounted in the dashboard of a
car ?
There's sometimes a pinhole which you can use to eject discs manually
with a straightened paperclip. If that fails, the unit will probably
have to go back to the dealer.
-scms If this flag is present, all TOC
entries for
subsequent audio tracks of the resulting CD will indicate that the
audio data has
no permission to be copied anymore.
I wouldn't call that copy protection, since we know that SCMS is
easily ignored or bypassed.
