New DVD-Audio music releases and talk about the latest players.

Well said... That's exactly the point.

...That's exactly the issue: It isn't about piracy prevention, it's about control and forced repurchasing, collusion, and limiting consumer options.

The industry knows very well that 'digital downloaders' don't much care if its a bit for bit copy, since their "product" isn't bit for bit, anyways. All it takes is one mediocre analog rip, one pirate to take the time to do that, and the Kazaa masses are satiated.

The "industry" would like nothing more than for us to pay-for-play, and if not that, then buy a DVD-A version for home, CD version for the car, and a separate digital download license for every player/computer we own.

CP protects from casual copying, not mass piracy. Serious pirates will find a way around it. I do not think the industry's woes can be traced back to Bob lending a copy of his Steely Dan DVD-A to Ed down the road and having Ed burn a CD-R instead of buying the thing. That's all that CP prevents.
