Chris, right - one has a copyright in their original work of authorship, regardless of whether they register. The receiver checks DRM for ripped song. Music downloaded from pay sites and CDs ripped to WMA format will have DRM. The manual mentions WMA, but doesn't specifically mention whether CDs ripped to WAV will have a problem. So, ripped WAV files may be OK after all. Haven't tried it yet.
wireless/USB audio to receiver
If you're in the market for a receiver and/or PC-based audio, one option to consider is the new Denon receivers (4308 and 5308). I just got the 4308. It plays music files from your PC/MAC via wireless or USB. FLAC, WMA, MP3 files play wirelessly or via USB. WAV must be non-copyrighted (no ripped CDs - crazy!!). No need for cables or converters. Sure, it's no Meitner, but it's no slouch and quite nice if you're just listening to MP3s, flac, or internet radio.
