Simon, you read the DAT-Heads FAQ, didn't you?
Those numeric designations are for DAT. MD uses the complements: 00 is
restricted, 01 is prohibited, and 11 and 10 are unrestricted.
CD is different yet: there is only one copy-protection bit per frame, and all
ones mean unrestricted, all zeroes mean prohibited (I may have those two re-
versed), and alternating ones and zeroes mean restricted.
Because the actual bit representations are different for different media,
I prefer the terms "SCMS-unlimited" for the settings that permit repeated
generations of recopying, "SCMS-penultimate" for that which allows only one
further generation, and "SCMS-final" for the uncopyable setting.
