Hybrid SACD the new standard?

Both Sony and Universal and catching flak on the copy protection on redbook cds making them "something other than redbook cds". Now, with one swoop they both dump redbook cd and jump on the copy protected sacd dual layer hybrid. Suddenly copy protection is not on the publics mind unless they look at the competition..ie BMG,etc....hybrid cds take over the old cd price list and "pushes its way into the mass market. Its all about copy protection on cd burners...just my opinion....if the pricing is too high it won't fly....so they'll have to make it attractive somehow....

They'll probably copy protect the cd layer of the daul layer sacd disc. Just my guess....

Maybe it would be different in your home system, Sean? I just want the silly dvd-a, sacd "war" to go away...I do think sacd is being driven by the fact it is not able to be copied and the cd layer of a hybrid will be copy protected..the peggy back sacd will force its way into our homes, in time, if sony and universal bit the bullet and take some losses upfront. I think they are panicing and will do anything to "protect" the music. Losses to copying must be biting.....just my 2 cents worth[about.05cents US.....
