Re: Still no reason for DRM stuff.


Of course, you COULD just hook up a plain old CD player to your sound card and record in .WAV to your hard drive and then convert to MP 3. This is, of course, the fatal flaw in DRM, since there are oodles of recorder programs and the CD would have to work with regular CD players.

It is, perhaps, a harder way to do it, but, in the end, if one wants it bad enough...And, the added bonus is the DRM crap is stripped off the recording.

True, I know there are ways to defeat DRM, but that doesn't mean I have to accept it as a consumer product. If I have to arrange that kind of conversion, just to get to use the product in the way I want, I'd call that defective, and issue an expedient return back to the retail chain.

isnt hooking up a CD player to your sound card also circumventing copyright protection? (albeit in another manner) Wouldnt this also technically be illegal due to the DMCA?
