Tanstaafl. You're assuming that they will distribute CD-to-DataPlay ripping software, when in fact you'll probably have to buy it all again, or wait until a third party produces such a utility, probably without the blessing of the record industry. In practice, you'll probably have to get keyed material from the record companies...
Still, someone will crack this, even if it's just by writing a driver that pretends to be a sound card - that receives an unpacked digital buffer, which is promptly blasted to a storage file.
