It seems to me that this method of "cracking" a DVD-Audio disk wouldn't even be subject to prosecution under the DMCA. Just as there is no circumvention of encryption going on when your ears hear the outputted audio, no circumvention is happening here when the raw data is saved instead of played.
in the united states, it's legal to sell armour-piercing ammuniction -- bullets whose sole purpose of design is to go through bullet proof vests; obviously a device designed to kill or maim human beings. the manufacturers to do not even make the pretense of proposing other uses for said ammunition. this activity is all fine and legal.
While one might initially think that this is just as, if not vastly more so, wrong than allowing illegal copyright infringement, you have to take the 2nd Amendment into account as well. Should armed revolution someday become necessary, we're going to be at a serious disadvantage if all you can buy in the gun store is.22 caliber target-shooting ammunition, because anything more has been deemed illegal since it is "only designed to kill or maim human beings". This is generally why groups like the NRA fight so vigorously against any form of gun control.
While trying to protect devices and software that are capable of copyright infringement is a worthwile endeavour (which I am in total agreement with), I don't think it's quite on the same level as making sure our basic constitutional rights are ensured.
I'd go into more detail, but there seems to be a black SUV parked outside, and somebody's knocking on my door....
Now there's something I never would have thought existed. Strategies for playing Rock Paper Scissors!
Could be quite interesting to have a computer program play, especially if it is designed to learn and improve against the player. Let us know when you've got it written.;)
Wallace began winning contests -- local, state, national -- culminating in second place in the International Intel Science and Engineering Fair last May in Cleveland.
