there has been a lot of talk about these kinds of protection schemes, it's not encryption, or anything like that.. it's a technique of putting errors into the data itself, and the encoding, so that CD-ROM's don't like chewing on the CD's. what happens, tho, is that any drive based on CD-ROM technology, won't even be able to PLAY the CD in normal mode. this includes laptops, desktop PC's, and from what I've heard, many NORMAL car decks..
