    Well.. Maybe it is just my stubborn achin heart of vinyl
    but I dont get the importance of the mentioned article.

    First of all I think it is pretty obvious, given the ongoing
    anti-piracy debate, whether it is software or music, that
    the major labels would come up with some kind of protection.

    I also find it pretty obvious that the algorithms used for
    protection will probably get cracked as we speak, or in
    a near future.

    Obviously the labels are on a crusade that they are
    bound to loose if they think this protectionscheme
    will be the efficient answer to stopping decreasing revenues.

    So what else is new ?

    Yours

    Wax, cph
