The ongoing struggle for CD protection *followup*

Hmmm, interesting news:



...

The music industry is now testing different copy protection systems on mass market chart CDs, with copies of NSync's Celebrity on the Zomba label being sold in at least three different versions.

...

All three discs appear to play on consumer CD players, though Super Audio CD players from Philips and Sony took around 30 seconds to recognise the German version. Both the UK and US versions will play on a Windows PC and both let a PC CD burner make a copy onto a blank CD.

...

When the digital output from a CD player is connected to the digital input of Philips CD recorder, or Sony Mini Disc recorder, the German disc gives the error message "Copy Prohibit" or "Cannot Copy".

If anyone know something more about this, please let it know! Seems like the industry have found (finally) some good stuff.
