>> The copy-protection technology produced by Macrovision and others blocks people from ripping MP3s, a format that consumers can duplicate at will. The second session includes digital files that can be used on a computer or an MP3 player, <<


So you can't rip an MP3 file, but one is included with the disc? Or is it some other format (such as wma, as stated earlier in the article)? If so, then these files are NOT playable on MP3 players!
