the law in australia states that is against copywright to reproduce the work from the original source onto a different source - ie cd to mp3
however this law is quite old and was originally written in regards of LP (vinyl) to tape when cassettes had started to be massive,
this law is not followed and is generally ignored by judges and lawyers alike.the fact that this point of law existed has only come to light recently as the "copy proof" cds have begun to be manufactured here in australia - you were right about the EMI link.
oh and if you have a mac these "copy proof" cds create 2 disc images on your desktop - one with all the aiffs that apparently can't be copied, and another with a player in it so it can be played on pc's
the software is written for low end pc s so if you have newer technology they definately aint copy proof
