I know I'm a little late with this reply but this topic has had me fuming all day. Maybe this has already been said, but I had a thought:
Is it safe to assume that Sony sells these discs in both copy-protected, and non-copy-protected flavors (different markets, laws, whatnot)? So if I'm at store #1 and I see some poor kid about to buy a copy-protected CD and I tell him to go to store #2 where he can get it non-copy-protected and he does and then makes illegal copies, is that a violation of the DMCA? After all, I disclosed how to get around the copy protection (by shopping elsewhere)...

Tell someone where to shop = jail time. ?!
