Regular audio CDs don’t have any DRM. (Unless it’s a data CD filled with audio files that have DRM or some such. But regular standard audio CDs that work in any CD player, there’s no DRM. The standard just doesn’t allow for any DRM.) And so the DMCA’s anticircumvention provisions wouldn’t apply to CDs.
But as for the Sony case you’re referencing, I’m not familiar with it, so I’ll have to do more research on that.
Of those three steps, step 2 is the illegal one. (Assuming we’re talking about music and not software.) Even if you never do step 3.
(Not saying things should be that way. Nor that it’s not difficult to enforce. Only that as the laws are today, even ripping a music CD to your hard drive without any intention to share the audio files or resell the CD, even if you never listen to the tracks from your computer, the act of making that “copy” infringes copyright.)
Edit: Oh, and I should mention this is the case for U.S. copyright. No idea about any other countries.
Usually, when the question is “why is copyright restrictive in these evil and/or dumb ways” the safe bet is that the the answer is “Disney.”
It’s… menstruating.
And you have to pay for it.

Shit. I hadn’t even heard that. That’s insidious. Makes perfect sense for Meta.
Just ask your instance’s admins not to federate with threads. If they federate anyway, consider switching instances.
Five minutes ago, I had never heard of ArcoLinux. Four minutes ago, I started searching for info on ArcoLinux. Three minutes ago, I found arcolinux.com . Now, I think I know less about ArcoLinux than I did six minutes ago.
(Sorry, I’m pedantic, but.)
DWM isn’t configured with dotfiles. It’s configured by editing a C header file and recompiling.
Not to say camel_case couldn’t share the C header file they used, of course. And of course other programs he mentioned are configured with dotfiles.
