                It will make an interesting test case when a

                loudspeakers after playing an allegedly pirate
                CD, particularly if the music industry and

Apparently I was right about the "built-in player to hide CD data
protection" -- ugh!

BTW I haven't seen any argument about the Catus Data style data
corruption^Wprotection vs. the DMCA.  I doesn't  require and information
or treatement with the authority of the copyright holder, only error
correction processing soooo, how can that be a 1201 effective TPM?
