-- Don't Like The Looks Of This :(...

I found this on a website...Have a read it's not good.

THE FIGHT AGAINST PIRACY CONTINUES
The end of an era may be quickly approaching. Brand new technology goes into widespread distribution on Tuesday that will change the very way commercial CDs are manufactured! Country crooner Charley Pride's new CD entitled A TRIBUTE TO JIM REEVES will be the first of its kind when it is released on Tuesday that will contain a special digital code designed to keep the music from being copied or uploaded to the Internet. The copy-proof CD is just one response from the music industry to the rampant ripping of audio CD's to MP3s. SunnComm Inc., the Phoenix based company behind the copy-proof CD technology, insists that this new protection device does not affect the disc's audio component, only the disc's other data.

Consumers will be able to play the new CDs anywhere they can plan unencrypted CDs. The only difference is that when the disc is inserted into a computer CD-ROM drive, efforts to rip the audio from the disc are halted. Critics argue that consumers can still hook up a CD Player to their computers to record onto the hard drive, but this will always result in inferior recordings due to consumer based hardware, as well as the time issue it takes to perform this task.

Don't be looking for a fix anytime soon, for this new technology is so highly developed. It is highly unlikely that anyone will be able to provide a crack to it any time soon

yea.... and this will be cracked too... you have no faith in the pirates of the world :P

there was a little thing similar to this that sony tried to make mainstream... but it failed miserably when it got cracked soon after its release


Posted by Paul Griffiths 1 on May-18-2001 14:22:

Yep everything gets cracked eventually. There's always someone smarter than you out there

You could just record it in Real Time and rip it to MP3!

they can stop u from rippin it with software, but they cant stop u takin the audio-out from ur cdplayer into ur line in on ur sound card...

pointless waste of money time and effort if u ask me

peace

nice thinking


Posted by SteveTranz4ever on May-18-2001 14:36:

Well I belive this is no problem for me cause I have a digital output on my regular CD player so I just plug it in to my computer and store the data in real time, in some way there is gonna be a easy solution to this.
Anyway it sucks

c-ya

Who can be bothered? Especially since most of us are used to the beauty of Rip & Encode straight from CD. I realise it's a way around it, but it's crap. Just imagine if this got widespread? The whole ripping worlds' gonna be pissed off basically!

how do u think vinyl rips come about..? + its so easy to do.. all u need is 3 quid for a jack>jack wire and the whole thing has been a waste of time

people will rip if they want to, and there isnt fuck all they can do about it.

The new windows couldnt be cracked
Mp4 was THE new thing..

well yeah whatever...

Ya cant receive payed tv for free.. yeah right...

Dude some smart ass will come with a nifty program.. or hardware thingie.. (it can even be an legal hardware thingie..)

Damn there are so many things...

completely agree, they say that ppl wont be bothered to record the tracks, thats only coz ripping is avaiable, when ripping isnt there, we record them, minidiscs are a prime example of this!

laterz


Posted by dvd on May-18-2001 19:03:

all this cracking thing is stupid ppl can still get the music another way, maybe record of vinyl? but speaking of the digital in ports and digital out, i think they have a protection agaisnt that because for MD players you can't record a MD twice because some protection.

hehe yea.. at first they said u couldn't change the code..
then it was u couldn't play other regions..
then it was u couldn't record dvds
blah blah..

ANYTHING can be cracked..

even like 128 bit encryption and stuff can be cracked.. given the right resources.


Posted by DJ Sarah H on May-18-2001 21:29:

Idea more than one way around it

Yeah this will be cracked sooner or later
Sooner if i know anything about it lol

but there are other ways
like Tu_Face said
audio out to audio in on a computer
CD to tape CD to mini disc etc

or like me

CD to CD
i got a Audio CD burner as well as one for my PC
so i would play the CD in a normal CD player
feed the audio into my Audio CD burner and voila
got a "normal" CD i can rip to MP3

Like when i burn MP3's to CD
i use the audio out from my PC to my mixer so i can play with the audio quality of the MP3 and get a real good copy of that MP3 onto audio CD
