You know, come to think of it, this is probably the driving force behind
the desire to move all the TV and Radio to digital. If anyone knows for
sure, will there be ways for the broadcasters to code broadcasts so that
the material may not be recorded in a digital format by the general
public?

I had a DCC player once, and I know that I could record one copy of a CD
to the DCC tape. If I gave that copy to someone else, they would not be
able to make copies from it, as it was digitally coded that it was
already a copy. I could make infinite copies from the original CD, one at
a time, but these copies could not be used to make copies by others.

http://www.geocities.com/hiikeeba/2004.html This is some persons rant
page found by a search on Google, it seems to emphasize my point.

"First there was AM radio. Then there was stereo FM radio. The next
incarnation of terrestrial radio is Digital. Digital radio promises CD
quality sound, and it will be free!

Naturally, the RIAA is ****ed. They insist that there needs to be some
sort of copy protection so that we can't record songs off the air on our
digital radio/CD recorder set. We will be able to record a block of
songs, but not an individual song.

It's hard enough to record an individual song off the radio, what with
the DJs' inability to keep their mouths shut when a song starts and one
song fading out when another fades in. What makes the RIAA think somebody
is going to go to all that trouble?"
