Wouldn't the process you describe be limited to 1x ripping?  If so, all this hard work 
to make LAME a fast, high quality encoder would be partially wasted, as you would have 
about an hour to encode a CD!  Not even counting the time spent chopping up the 
soundfile.

Although I havent run across one yet, it's quite possible that a copy protected disk 
would play in NONE of my CDDA capable players.  (Rio Volt, Sony MP3 Boombox, DVD drive 
in my laptop)  Is that any way to treat a paying customer?

Personally, I'd rather work toward stopping this "risky scheme" than spend time and 
money to circumvent it.
                         
Chris
