[vorbis] Here we go again...

[John Paul Mays]

Big deal!  Simply run the ripped tracks through SpinDoctor (or some other
software) and remove the pops, crackles, and clicks!  Simple as that!

| COPY-PROTECTED CDS QUIETLY SLIP INTO STORES
| Macrovision, in coordination with several major recording labels,
| has for several months been piloting new technology to prevent
| music consumers from copying CDs onto their PCs. The technology
| distorts CD recordings with a series of audible pops and clicks
| when the music is copied onto a PC. The Macrovision pilot is the
| latest in a series of attempts by the recording industry to
| protect music from digital piracy. Previous efforts have largely
| failed, either because various industry elements have been unable
| to agree on how to implement the technology or because the
| technology also disrupted normal CD playback. The recording
| industry's attempts to prevent the copying of CDs onto PCs
| presents a legal quandary, however, because the courts have
| recognized the right of consumers to copy copyright-protected
| work for home use.
