You notice the market tendency to push towards "all in one" units?

They prevent piracy by having internal connections with other units, hardwired in.

Still, this is only preventing the casual user from ripping it. The dedicated already have a cokmplete deck, and can rip and share as they choose.

I have a CD-R hooked to my stereo. essetnially, it's an optimal quality line out. I mostly use it to extract obscure Boston vinyl onto CD-R, but I could use it to operate for piracy purposes. And, of course, all it takes is one copy to make it to the P2P networks.
