That doesn't work that way. What you get is actually garbage and is not |
| 9 |
"encrypted" (otherwise you would be able to copy it to another DVD). |

Creating a copy of an audio DVD which is itself encrypted would defeat |
| 11 |
the purpose of a copy protection, since even though encrypted, it's |
| 12 |
still a copy, and the protection wants to prevent that. If you can copy |
| 13 |
it, it wouldn't be protected :P |

I don't know of any software for Linux that can decrypt it, only for |
| 16 |
Windows and even then it's a bit hard to find since sites offering it |
| 17 |
are being hunted by American anti-piracy companies. |
