From the article:
"TTR's patents reveal that in the SafeAudio system, "grossly erroneous
values," or bursts of digital noise, are added to the signal,
forcing a regular CD player, whose error correction can't usually
handle such extreme digital hash, to cover the gaps of bad data
with data from before and after where the distortion occurs."
Heh. What would happen with an Oval or Pole CD?
Not only that, this sort of thing would be easy to fix with
Sound Forge. If it really is inaudible, then it's only triggering
really short bursts of errors to trigger the interpolation algorithm
in the CD player. Really short bursts of drastic noise are what
Sound Forge kills best.
I wouldn't worry too much about it. They'll only do it for the
mass market releases. I doubt the piracy prevented would justify the
license fees in runs under 10,000.
