I think the stand Philips is taking on "Copy Protection" may not be as it first appears...
As goldenrod has suggested it not the idea of Copy Protection they are opposed to but it is not "Their" scheme that is being used.
A Philips spokesman describing their new CD Burner "The protection system is not a protection system as such, but simply a mechanism for stopping the playback of music."
Things will get interesting indeed if the "Content Producers" and "Hardware Manufacturers" start throwing lawsuits back and forth at each other.
Hang on people, things are going to get interesting in the Entertainment Arena in the coming months...
