It seems like everyone here is saying that SDMI will die because MP3 is more convenient. But I thought that another prong of the RIAA attack on MP3 was to create copy-protected CDs that couldn't be ripped, except maybe by proprietary software. In that case, MP3 would lose its advantage, and we'd be stuck with SDMI as the only digital music alternative. Am I missing something here?
