Hi,

I was just listening to a CD and noticed it had a "copy controlled" logo
on
it, so I thought I would stick it in my PC to see what happened.

I cancelled the "do you want to install the software" dialog, then went
into
nero, selected 'save tracks to HD' and I was able to save the tracks to
uncompressed WAV without any warnings or anything.

Have I been incredibly devious here? I wasn't trying to defeat the copy
protection, just watch it in action.

FWIW the CD is called "urban flavas 2" on untouchables records (not to be
confused with the unrelated "urban flavas" series on warner). The PC is
running nero 5.5 express on windows 2000 server sp4 with a pioneer
dvr-106d.

It would appear as usual that so-called "copy protection" DOESN'T. Of
course this most likely won't prevent the RIAA from screaming that "it's the
pirates! The PIRATES!"
