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
