Basically this type of copy protection is like the old PC software copy protection
schemes of yesteryear. Basically the industry had to give it up because
it caused so many problems. My guess is people will avoid buying music and
games that are on the copy protected CD's. In the end the record companies
will sell less copies than if the disks could be freely copied.<br>
