If that was the case, it'd be the most stupid case of copy protection I've ever heard of; anything it prevents you from is copying all the silence at the end, plus the few bleeps at the very end (that I didn't bother listening to more than once, actually :) ; also, every PC with a CD writer and a bit of audio editing software lets you adjust that silence to your preferred size... ^_^ -- Kurt B.
