Princeton University student shows how holding the SHIFT key during CD playback allows MP3 recording of CD media.

Quote:Under normal circumstances, the antipiracy software is automatically loaded onto a Windows machine whenever the [BMG soul artist Anthony] Hamilton album is run in a computer’s CD drive, making traditional copying or MP3 ripping impossible. However, simply holding down the Shift key prevents Windows’ AutoRun feature from loading the copy-protection software, leaving the music free to copy, [Princeton PhD. student John] Halderman said.

D'oh!
&lt;center&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.ranchoweb.com/images/madone/taymb.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;center&gt; We don't want your forgiveness. We won't make excuses. We're not gonna blame you, even if you are an accessory... But we will not except your natural order. We didn't come for absolution, we didn't ask to be redeemed. But isn't how it is, every goddamn time... Your prayers are always answered, in the order they're received...
