| Hmm, still not quite there mate,

Howlette, your condescension is inappropriate.  Even if you were right and I
wrong, it would still be rude.  Talking down at someone when you're wrong and
the other person is right -- as is the case here -- is even worse.

| its that its on MiniDisc, so it cannot be copied again, remember, it has an
| ADC, so it gets converted to digital, then cannot be copied.

You are 100% wrong about that.  If that were true, it would be impossible
ever to make a digital copy from a MiniDisc under SCMS.  Perhaps you believe
that it is, but in actual reality it isn't.  I've done it many, many times.

The facts are that analog input digitized by the recorder's on-board ADC is
laid down as SCMS-penultimate, and one generation of digital recopying is
allowed under SCMS.  If one were foolish enough to route the analog signal
through an outboard ADC, the ADC's digital output would probably be SCMS-pen-
ultimate; then the recording would be SCMS-final and one really couldn't make
a further copy of it digitally, but that isn't the case here.
