Actually, this whole copy protection scheme will hardly put a dent in illegal
copyright violations. Think about you friend's bootleg tapes. Think abuot
your own (if you have any! :-)  How many of those are third-generation?

If I'm not mistaken, the usual bootleg come-on lines are:

1) Ooh! You have that on CD? Man, can I get a tape?
2) Gee, is this album any good?
and sometimes 3) This has been out of print for _ yrs, think I could tape it?

Almost no-one copies copies of tapes. No one I know, at least.
