Does anyone really understand the technical details of Record/Play? How is this any different than a digitally-signed, encrypted file/document? Confining an encrypted file/document to the one and only one decryption source having the proper certificate is nothing new. How does this PREVENT copying? Maybe it makes it a little harder, but the data has to be broadcast on the PCI bus in the clear, in order for the sound card to know what to do with it. The data can be captured with any number of PCI bus analyzers on the market, and saved to a file of your choice. In the case of print material (e.g. books), how does it prevent hard copies from being printed out and mass-duplicated? Seems like its kind of like locking the front door, but leaving the front window open. Anybody know the details? dh
