Before the the message flood starts : Please do not send any message about this topic here,
unless :

- you tested your theories on an actual Macrovision SafeAudio(*) "protected" Audio CD
- the article you plan to link to has done the same, and also has information
  about exactly which CD they tested ( Artist, Title, Publisher , serial number ... )

Just to prevent loads of useless stuff that is on the web currently about this topic.

* - the protection schemes name is SafeAudio
