Who has to complain to get the FBI/cops/whoever to arrest someone for
violating the DCMA? Is it the copyright holder or just anyone? At
worst all you have to do is pay  SunnComm Technologies to protect a
few copies of you singing in the shower and you will have a valid
complaint.
Don't even have to do that - just put "ejectcd.com" on a mixed mode cd and
create an autorun.ini to execute it; that is as valid a "copy protection"
technique as SunnComm's
