DVD-Audio's CPPM Circumvented

Posted by timothy on from the everything-that-rises-must-converge dept.

Bodysurf writes "After DVD-Video's CSS encryption was broken in 1999, the music industry chose a much more secure copy-protection method for DVD-Audio called Copy Protection for PreRecorded Media (CPPM). This protection scheme has remained publicly uncracked, but it was circumvented recently, providing the ability to save the unencrypted digital audio data. CDFreaks has the details."

    stealing from the people who create and make the things you would enjoy is something else entirely...

    And as you know, as soon as you copy a song, somebody else's copy, far far away, suddenly dissapears, depriving them of their property and thus meeting the definition of "stealing". As opposed to, say, "pirating", which involves the loss of (theoretical, and in most situations very unlikely) income without the actual loss of an asset that was formerly possessed.
