[t.toner at NTLWORLD.COM: tech buffs crack copy-protected CDs with a marker]

[Cecil H. Whitley]

Interesting economics there, a protection scheme that probably costs
hundreds of thousands of dollars, if not millions, defeated by a $.50
marker.  Now anyone with the information and a marker can get their "fair
use" without too much trouble.  That's always been the problem with copy
protection, it infringes upon the rights of the user.
