I would call it the _perfect_ copy protection.
As someone pointed out: anything you can listen to, you can copy.
So, the last meaning of copy protection for me means the _information_:
So I will put in a CD, an read (scms): "oh, this guy doesn't want me to copy his CD", "well then I go and buy/dl it..."
or I will read (-copy): "Alright then, I can copy this one..."
the world is good. we are not evil.
cheers, tobias.
