Merry Christmas Dian and all, I wasn't jumping on him, note my LOLs, he wants to prevent CD duping! note, he mention the current state of CD Writers...We all know about BMG and other companies trying to prevent CDs from being copied, everyone on the list responding has been addressing protecting a PowerPoint doc...NOT preventing a CD Writer from making a dup of a CD! And yes I get offended when someone labels computer users, he mentioned 'ordinary user' If an 'ordinary user' has a CD Writer on their system, than they should know how to do a 'bit to bit' copy of a CD! What do you call all the kids ripping music? extra-ordinary? You edited out the part where I said ' I know you didn't mean it' I also mention to him to use Google - first line. I feel if I was jumping on him, I would have said that Duping CDs is not an Office Problem. If he was to post question to a hardware newsgroup they will laugh at him. I was trying to help while being funny, I have total respect for your skills Dian, sorry you didn't catch the humor in my answer! Merry Christmas! ;-) I'm having another slice of Rum cake! wish you could join me! ;-) <paul> ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dian Chapman" <dian@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, December 25, 2003 2:02 PM Subject: [mso] Re: How to Copy protect a CD? > >'ordinary users' (I know you didn't mean it).LOL..is insulting... > > Why is that insulting? > > >and if there's freeware available, you know it can be broken! > > Sure it CAN be...if you're willing to give your credit card to a hacker to > purchase their software. > > Sorry...but I don't see the point of jumping all over someone when they ask > a simple, legit question.
