That is because they have no idea how easy it is to do now. Hell stream ripping is now an easier sure fire method of getting the songs you want at a decent quality.

Quite simply: if you can hear it it can be recorded. If not digitally there’s still analog which–in spite of what they say–very few can tell the difference. My system can do both right now: turn a stream into an MP3 or record it in analog onto a cd or cassette tape (yes they are still around.) Feed those back into your PC and you can make MP3′s with a marginal decrease in quality. Not to mention the fact that if they DO come up with some technology to “protect” a stream from being copied some high school kid will crack it within a week.

They have been at this for 7 years already with nothing to show. They won’t make any more progress 70 years from now.

*shakes head* You know maybe the RIAA wouldn’t be so laughable if they didn’t take a shotgun approach to this problem. They must know half of these methods are worthless…red herring anyone?
