DVD copying and CSS

[Joel Konkle-Parker <jjk3@msstate.edu>]

With the recent injunction granted against 321 Studios for their DVD X 
Copy software for copying DVDs, I've been wondering something. Why is it 
necessary to break CSS encryption to make a copy? Could you not make a 
bit-for-bit copy of the DVD and have the contents still be encrypted on 
the new medium? I mean, copying an mp3 file from one cd to another 
doesn't require you to decode it first.
