So if a CD has copy protection on it (all DVDs and HD/BluRay disks do have DRM), circumventing it is illegal - that's already established law. Really stupid and evil law given that the financial damages make a person a felon for copying a single CD IMO, but established.

I hate that! I would think (being not a lawyer) that given the value of a CD, (10-20 bucks) the theft of the music by copying it would be petty-theft. Maybe it is safer to shoplift them after all! (not that I'm advocating that)
