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

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

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!
