Replay has no DMCA implications - it doesn't counteract a copy protection scheme. Ripping a copy protected CD is an entirely different issue, and in the case of DMCA the individual programmer can be (and WILL be) arrested on a criminal charge - even if they are not a US citizen.

This is why it is important for Philips to set precedent that CD copy protection is a break of the standard and not a valid scheme.
