Hmmm... can't figure out offhand how they will be able to arrange that...

I suspect they might alienate rather a lot of high end hi-fi users with
that move...
As the full code for DVD has now apparently been compromised, and that is
designed in from the start, I wouldn't expect this will be an obstacle to
many people for very long. I do entirely support the motive of trying to
stop people copying and distributing CDs, but MP3 ripping for one's own
use, though technically illegal, seems a bit of a nasty one to come down
on...
I await with interest the expected flop of the system...
