It's clear this CD won't play in an audio CD player. You load it into a
computer, you buy a decryption key and then you can download audio into an
MP3 player. (So the article claims). So a few of the MP3 players support
the broken SDMI copy marking schemes, perhaps this is what they're talking
about hooking into.
Otherwise if it really ends up putting an mp3 into the player, just read it
back out and distribute. It may be marked but that doesn't prevent
distribution, and won't strongly deter it either -- credit card fraud being
what it is.
