Hmmm,
Wild guess... 12 years ago?
Actually SCMS is defined in the S/PDIF protocol used to transfer music digitaly
(The optical or coaxial cable between your CD/MD/DAT/DCC player and MD/DAT/DCC
recorder). ALL CDs contain the SCMS signal. And most of them have it set to
'one-copy-allowed'. The others have it set to either 'no-copy-allowed' or
'unlimeted-copies-allowed'.
