CD Copy Stopper

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the going-to-extremes dept.

CTho9305 writes "Technology Review has an article about a new CD and DVD copy protection system by Doc-Witness, where the disc itself has a smart card on it. The card checks if a request is valid, and then returns a key to decrypt the contents of the disc. It apparently works with standard drives."

    My arse. This kind of thing will stop *most* people copying CD's. They don't give a fuck if geeky wankers want to try and capture the sound out of their speaker than write it back to CD - you don't have any friends to give copies to anyway.

    Destroy what they're attempting to preserve? They're attempting to preserve their bottom line, jackass.

    Newsflash - People don't care about art, or music, they care about money.
