If the SCMS bits haven't been set to "no copy", then it will allow a copy of
the CD's contents. In the case of V2 whose CD's are set to no copy rather
than copy-once, that's where the problem arises. When burning a copy of the
CD, rather than copying a mirror image, you would have to extract all tracks
to your HD and then make an audio CD from those tracks. That way, SCMS
doesn't even come into the picture. That's how you would circumvent it,
aside from getting an SCMS defeater.

Subject: MD: SCMS, and 76 minute cd's
I made a copy CD copy of Beastie Boys Root Down EP. It was made on Ricoh(I
think) CD burner. Im not sure the exact process used, but anyway, I can make
digital copies to MD from this CD copy. I thought that SCMS prevented this.
Either I am mistaken or, the Beastie Boys didn't set their SCMS. BTW I'm
using a Technics 6-CD changer, and an MZ-r30, through an optical connection.
Also, I recently bought Ramones Mania, and when I put it into the CD player
it said it was 76 minutes long. I thought maybe it was some mistake, so I
copied it to MD and sure enough, it wouldn't fit.
If anyone has any comments on these subjects, I would appreciate it.
