At that point I can grab it with some cheap microphone and convert it to an unencrypted.wav or something. Quality would not be as good as a direct rip but the vast majority of folks either don't notice the subtle differences or really don't care.
Perhaps we will have a Slashdot newsheader like this in the future:
RIAA and MPAA moves on with their CDSI. The CDSI, short for Content Descrambler Implant is a device that must be surgically inserted into your body if you want to be able to listen to any of the latest record releases, rock concerts or movies.
From next year all memers of RIAA and MPAA will stop releasing any uncscrambled material, a spokesman for the CDSI says: Hey fokes, this is just a harmless little chip no bigger than a pea. It's for your own good. You dont want to endanger copyright or our profits and content control.
I hope I'll be around in the future when you can download a new skin for your car or wallpapers just like you can do with Winamp or Gnome/KDE.
The paint on cars, homes and wallpapers will not be regular paint. It made up of some crystal or organic goo that can be altered electronically by an in built chip.
To bad your car got hacked the other day. Now it's bright pink with neon green dots and you cannot change it.;-)

Hi honey! Of course I'm reading this.

mp3 is here. mp3 will not go away. It's good it's great and all music will evetually be coded as mp3. VBR, 160bps and up sounds great!
;-) (Not Circuit City but mpeg4) is coming. It will be the mp3 for motion picture.

No company can change this.
