I really don't know what I'm talking about, but I thought any music copy protection schemes were pointless because can't you record (analog) anything you can hear with a computer? As in hit play on the cd and record to WAV or directly to mp3? Even if the cd analog out is disabled somehow couldn't you take the headphone output into an aux in on a soundcard and record it? Sure it wouldn't be bit-for-bit EXACTLY the same as the CD but it would still be 44kHz 16bit stereo. Am I completely off here?
