Pretty funny writing Jeff52. Pretty accurate too. There are a few things that I still don't get. Are there not CDROM drives that can simply make an exact copy of any CD? (Not re-encode it etc. but just make a dupe.) I do tend to believe that simply holding down shift will defeat my ability to make a CD Copy. What am I missing if I'm wrong?
Regarding DRM... I too totally don't blame the labels. But, I also don't see how my "fair use" gets in their way after I forked over the price they felt was fair. And, I'd be fine if there was some sort of DRM pre-installed on Windows or whatever that actually WORKED.... but I fear any attempt will be frought with issues... with slim to name the one I care about. I don't think the end of music as we know it is necessarily here; around the corner; or so far gone that we can't change its course. There's all these new formats of audio CD that aren't going to make it. Anyway, I'm almost tempted to try to get into the DRM business to knock some sense into folks but I don't know if I'm capable or care that much.
