- A recording company is under no legal obligation to code original
- material as uncopieable or otherwise. In other words, if someone
- wants to sell a CD or DAT tape which doesn't prohibit multiple
- generations of copying, then the producer/originator of that CD
- or DAT is perfectly free to encode the SCMS with an 00 coding
- for unlimited copying.
-
- I understand that. My question is whether a record company is legally
- prohibited from using the 10 code, forbidding ANY copying.
