Software beats all CD copy protection

The magazine c’t (Computertechnik) and RapidSolution Software have developed a way to get around all music copy protection schemes.

All CDs can be copied by recording the analogue output from a regular CD player, but reconfiguring the recorded data into a useable digital file can be time-consuming. UnCDcopy performs this task automatically. Once the analogue output has been captured, the program then checks with a database hosted by c’t to determine where the digital file should be split up, in order to make separate tracks for each song. The quality of this recording will be significantly less than that of a digital copy. Jim Peters, a representative of the UK’s Campaign for Digital Rights, agrees that the technique is low-tech, but says it should be effective. ‘This is like CD to tape copying, only brought into the 21st century,’ Peters told New Scientist. ‘It will let you defeat any copy prevention system, but in an obvious low-tech way.’
