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... ^_^
