Copy-Proof CD's(NZC)

Badgies-
Found this interesting article in a Sound & Vision magazine so  thought  
I would share it... :-)

Copy Proof CD's-
"C-Dilla inc., recently acquired by Macrovision, is developing technology
that prevents a computer's CD-Rom drive from playing music CD's, making it 
impossible to copy them with a CD-R drive or post them on the internet. Slated
for introduction next year, the Audiolok system is also said to prohibit 
copies
being made from consumer CD recorders- and even to prevent a digital
signal from being passed through  a player' s digital outputs.

The system work by adding false codes to a music CD so that it looks like
a CD-Rom to a computer. The codes are ignored by CD players, but the
discs appear corrupt and unreadable on CD-ROM drives.

So although the redording industry's Secure Digital Music Initiative (SDMI)
has reached the reluctant conclusion (albeit with the help of  court 
decisions)
that consumers should be allowed to copy digital content onto storage
media, your right to do so isn't fully secure."

Will this affect the non-boot trading community at all if this system
becomes standard?
