What record company is this disc from so I can never buy one of their discs again. This just crosses the line.

There are ways to hack into the audio stream as you play the CD on your computer, and encode that stream into an MP3 or similar format.

I heard about it being done by a Prof who had a Grad student who did it at the hardware level, by physically hacking into the audio output on the CD drive. I assume there would be similar software available somewhere which could mimic the same thing, however I have never heard of a specific program
