streak_56... that's not the issue. I mean, fair use and all is important to me, and I believe one SHOULD be able to make archival copies of data that you PURCHASE. However, the biggest concern is that DRM automatically prevents the CD from following true "color book" standards, and therefore makes it incompatible for playback with some legitimate players. That's BS. If I buy a DVD/CD player for my home entertainment system, and two years later it can't play some CDs I buy because the CD LABEL decided to break specs... that pisses me off.
