BTW i think i just found a "crack" for the liquid player, do a
ftp search for a2b2wav.zip and see what you find


The whole purpose of watermarking music, ostensibily, is to protect illegal coping, but as many tech insiders may know, no technology is truely secure. If otherwise, why do we have hack-in at DoD, why the hell Microsoft would allow you to copy their softwares and not protect them once and for all? Watermarking the digital music, like licensing in software, provides a business model for big shot CD labels to extend their traditional market into online music distribution, if anyone other than the authorized reseller tries to resell the cracked music, don't be surprised for being busted and paying huge fines/jail time.

MP3 in its current business model is GUARANTEED not to have any industrial support. If you have any doubts, try searching for Madonna or Micheal Jackson on mp3.com.

Regards

P.S. Even your spelling of SDMI is wrong.

He's the CEO and founder of MP3.com, BTW.
