"Internauts argue that copy protection is futile because it will inevitably be cracked by the Net’s legions of amateur lock-rattlers. In their view, people will get around copy protection simply by running the output of their CD players directly into their computer sound cards and capturing the resulting music with stream-capture programs like Total Recorder. In addition, computer-game hackers have developed programs — such as BlindRead, CloneCD and DiscDump, all readily available on the Net — that duplicate copy-protected game CD-ROMs by ignoring the “errors” that manufacturers introduce into the data in an effort to stump typical CD-ROM copying programs. In theory, people could adapt them to rip protected music tracks. More methods of beating copy protection will surely evolve, hackers argue, spurred on with the tacit consent of the computer trade. As chagrined label executives have often noted, an entire industry — ranging from webby start-ups like MusicMatch to giants like Hewlett-Packard and Apple, which are touting their products as ripping machines — has grown up around the CD-ROM and MP3. Will all of these companies just sit on their hands if copy-proofing becomes the norm?"
