Thread Name: A seedy copy?
Subject: RE: BS: A seedy copy?
"Both meanings" - the only meaning I know for "flogger" is someone who believes in bringing back the birch and flogging petty criminals.

I think they're on a hiding to nothing trying to stop people copying CDs, there'll always be ways round it. (If need be, whatever kind of device they rig up, people can just play the CD into a microphone attached to a recording device, and use that copy as the master.)

Sooner or later the world is going to have to accept that the whole idea of property rights in things that can be freely reproduced has to be radically rethought.
