Actually, it grants you the right to make one copy for archival purposes, and, under "first use law", may in fact grant you more rights (as demonstrated by the video tapes available for rental at "Blockbuster Video", despite clear markings on their packages stating "not for rental or public performance"). > > I haven't encountered it doing anything else though, which is strange. > > Sounds like it's there to thwart your criminal activities then. 8) Yeah, like the frequency differential in DAT was there th thwart criminal activities. That's why DAT is outselling all other recordable audio media. Oops. Wait... DAT isn't even outselling blank 8-Tracks or Sony Minidisc... PS: Reading audio data works just fine for My Toshiba 3401B, a SCSI II drive that I bought many years ago for just such an emergency...
