Subject: Do you really think CDs will be protected in future?

I don`t know what you think about this, but in my opinion
will never exist a method to REALLY protect CDs, just because
I think that "if I can ear it, I can reproduce (and record) it".
The dsp could be redirected to hd or this kind of stuff
(just a stupid example).
I cannot really understand WHAT they are trying to do...
I cannot understand WHERE do they want to arrive...
Maybe they are trying to deny copy "for the masses",
but there will be always someone, writing a new cdcopy tool
"for the masses".
I think the force point and the weakness of a CD resides in its
"standard", if they could write their own standard format for every
song, they could write their own "player" and maybe they could "better"
protect their songs, btw (obvious) it will never be compatible with
OUR standard cdplayer.
This is *just* my opinion, maybe stupid, but I would really like
to listen to yours and understand...
