Here in europe (Czech Republick) it is normal. Many of new CD has this protection. We can't play this CD on DVD players,cd player in my car, etc... It's ilegal because there is trademark Digital audio and this is not digital audio (it's multisession CD). Real audio CD must be in standart red book. But company like sony, bonton, emi, bmg don't folow standart. Ou ou, world come to be crazy. This protection can be skiped when man know how. But I want play my original, expensive CD in every player , but i can't. -- Stanislav Omera IT Systems, a. s. http://www.itsys.cz ___ mp3encoder mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://minnie.tuhs.org/mailman/listinfo/mp3encoder

They're probably using Lame because it's saving money compared to FhG. For sure it's legal to use Lame commercially if they payed the licence fees. ___ mp3encoder mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://minnie.tuhs.org/mailman/listinfo/mp3encoder

I'm not sure if it's really legal to use LAME for commercial selling of the encoded files (because of the patents on MP3). They can buy a license for the involved patents. This isn't something which is restricted to a particular encoder. You have to license the technologie, not the implmentation.

More interesting: ---snip--- * INTERNATIONAL CONSIDERATIONS * The Content files are encrypted and the Player contains decryption technology. You agree to abide by U.S. and other applicable export control laws and not to transfer any material subject to restrictions under such laws to a national destination or person prohibited under such laws. ---snip--- American people aren't allowed to export the CD to e.g. Iraq. If you export it, you may get arrested because you violate the weapon export restrictions (because of the blowfish encryption). ... Mars Attacks! comes to my mind ;-) ...

But in the license agreement for the technology, the company does indicate that it has used LAME (which originally, but no longer, stood for Lame Ain't an Mp3 Encoder), an open-source MP3 encoder. ---snip--- May I ask how I have to expand the acronym 'LAME' now? ---snip--- Instructions that come with the CD indicate that the player can be used on any Windows operating system. A CNET News.com test found it worked well in a computer running Windows 2000, but that an older machine running Windows 95 could not recognize the disc. ---snip--- Can someone confirm this? http://www.musichelponline.com/legal/ ---snip--- The Player uses the Blowfish block cipher, ---snip--- Now someone has only to find the start of the encrypted parts, get the Key out of the software and then (I assume they only encrypt the output of LAME)...
