CNN.com - 'Copy-proof' CDs cracked with marker pen - May 21, 2002 The effect is that the copy-protected disc will play on standard CD players but not on computer CD-Rom drives, some portable devices and even some car stereo systems.

{I'm all 19th century most of the time. Doesn't the CD player hook up ok to the line-in port of the pc? or the Apple? and then pump the tune into the hard drive/net/whatsoever-you-choose? it's all digital info hmmm? sound quality suffers? a lot? I doubt it. so use the CD player like a Zip drive. somebody could maybe make some hardware thus more intentionally directed.

think. of. the. dull. slow. empty. progress. of human. knowledge. if. each. word. had. been. patented.
