Ive spent a lot of time with microtech dvd duplicators - they use these adapters. Specifically, I was able to connect 12 IDE DVD-R devices to a PC several feet away by using IDE to SCSI adapters and a couple of nice long SCSI cables. Beats the IDE ribbon cable limitation problem, and allows you to spread your devices out, instead of trying to cram a bunch of devices into one box.
SafeCast is a copy protection scheme. A company I recently worked for used SafeCast to regulate the usage of pre-release software - we made video games, and when we sent a pre-release version of our game to a member of the press (for a preview), SafeCast would require that the user register with our license server in order to preview the game. That way, we could see exactly who was playing what, and where. If the disc ended up in someone elses hands (this was a no-no), we could trace it back to the original user. If the user did not register, they could not use the software.
So, does intuit track your usage? probably. That is exactly what we used it for.

i did this in a boardroom at my office.. .
bluetooth form 30 feet worked OK but it was sketchy.. signal would drop in and out. not too usable.
so i got one of these:

and hung the bluetooth receiver in the center of the room. USB over cat5 goes a long way and you can hide the cables well.
