Even if such DRM can't be thwarted (and it can), so what if I can't rip it? It still can be read crystal clearly by CDDA players, so what's to stop me from hooking up an optical cable from my home-stereo CD player to my Audigy 2 ZS and then launching Sound Forge to record it? I might have to ride the levels a bit, but it's still in digital quality and will sound pretty damn close to if I ripped it straight off.
This new joke of a DRM hurdle means absolutely nothing, and even if it did, no-one would be fool enough to buy it.
