Re: The Who Mailing List Digest V8 #205
BMG CopyProtection:
Well I hate to say it but unless they stop people from buying microphones
and other recording equipment than there will always be bootlegged copies of
new songs.
What wil stop people from putting a microphone to a speaker and making
tapes/ wav files of songs?
I guess they can only make it as difficult as possible to copy music.
