That's very true. But even if they were to devise a PERFECT digital protection scheme, there's always the analog hole which is nearly impossible to plug. Someone with a bit of know-how could very easily capture the analog signals (by tapping into the speaker-outs if need be) and simply remaster a distribution. Granted, there will be some quality loss, but if done carefully, most people wouldn't be able to tell the difference. ...and by most, I mean anybody without a golden ear and a high-priced system. Look how happy people have always been to trade cassettes of copied music from LP's or tape-to-tape in the "old days". Ultimately ... this is why all this DRM crap like guarding the prison gates while the inmates are climbing over the fences. In the long run, they're penalizing the "honest" media user, while the bad-guys continue doing what they've always done while hardly missing a beat. AND they create a whole class of 'hackers' who go after thier DRM schemes simply to see if it can be done. -- jeffluckett ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jeffluckett's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=27136 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
