(This was previously on the list.)
The CEO of TTR Technologies (www.ttrtech.com, but for
something different, try ttr.com) was on CBS "This Morning",
demonstrating music CDs that can't be copied without distortion.
I think the previous list discussion said something about
ECC errors a player would forgive (and fix) but not a
computer CD drive.
He was asked about disabling something that's not illegal.
Mr. Yarmulka-head replied that while the Digital Millenium Act
allows you to make your own copy of a CD, it also allows
companies to prevent copying.
Ugh, that brings up a question.
If it's illegal to circumvent a copy protection scheme,
is it still illegal to do so if making a personal copy
is legal?
Or is circumventing a copy protection scheme a general thing,
separate from the copying step?
He said DVDs are next.
