Comment Copying protected CDs without circumvention (Score 1) 623
I have several music CDs with protection mechanisms, and I have learnt the hard way that they easily get so damaged that they're non-playable.
Therefore, when I buy a protected music CD I immediately make a personal "working" copy. How? I play it on an old 1-speed external CD-ROM drive and make the copying via MacOS 8.1.
I'm not trying to circumvent the protection in a technical sense, and since it is permitted under Danish law to make personal safety copies I'm completely legit.
I could have made a straight rip from the original, but I prefer playing the CDs at home - even top bit VBR compresssion is clearly detectable on my system
