That analogy is just soooooo wrong. The intellectual copyright holder has a priori rights and cannot be denied complete freedom of access to their own copyright material, regardless of the mechanical storage medium it may happen to reside on at a point in time... unless they have EXPLICITLY waived their inalienable legal right to do so via a legally-binding contract. The medium can never enforce supremacy over the message. Anyway, this is way off-topic. -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...
