which it does and they've already built a protection system around this
fact.
make no mistake. these guys have billions to waste on every conceivable
outlandish idea to use for their purposes. one day you might find that
a new thin blue layer coated on CDs has the only purpose of difracting
blue laser CD lights while leaving red laser cdplayer lights ok.
(disclaimer: total fiction and not even scientifically correct)
and unbelievable as it sounds to us at first glance, their concern
really *is* "easy perfect copies". because everything that makes
copying more work or degrades the quality of the copy means less people
do it.
