3. The copy protection system used for all EMI/Capitol releases including "To the 5 Boroughs" is Macrovision's CDS-200, which sets up an audio player into the users RAM (not hard drive) to playback the Yellow book audio on the disk. It does absolutely NOT install any kind of spyware, shareware, silverware, or ladies wear onto the users system.

There's more to that than what they're saying. The fact that they have their own "special" version of a player is just a sign of things that are probably around the corner.
I'm still baffled at why the companies are trying stuff like this. If sound comes out of the speakers, I can record it, digitally or otherwise. Instant copy-protection circumvention.
Still, it's only time until they get sued for this. Their special software meets all the legal definitions for a computer virus,
especially if a website full of programmers and geeks who have probably dissected the whole thing say it is.
