So what is the deal with the industry making CDs so we can't copy them?
(I understand why they want to, but I'm curious how they are doing it)

Is this encoding only going to affect things like that Phillips recorder? Or is it going make it impossible to copy CDs or individual tracks on a computer CD Burner??

I'm very curious to hear what's going on with this...
