Audigy 2 apart from bringing tons of useless and seen-it-done-that features into a growing family of SB spin-offs (Live!, Live! 5.1, Audigy), features a wonderful little contraption called DIGITAL RIGHTS MANAGEMENT. This built-in hardware mechanism is supposed to stop playback of pirated Audio CDs as well as illegal mp3 files.

Now if we could only forget about the (pay-per-driver Creative issue) and get our hands on some "home made" Audigy 2 drivers that bypass this "wonderful" function - we might even consider buying one of these cards. For now - we can only wait.
