The question I would like to ask the author, unless someone else
knows, is about the 5-6 minutes it normally took to copy a single

but was never able to substantiate it.

Do you mean the bitcopy? It needs time analyzing each track data (if I
understood your question properly) and probably does few revolutions
of read attempts to sync.

I personally don't understand why the brilliant Locksmith author(s)
preferred to stay in the shadows, maybe they feared something back
then. But today, only appraisals are left. :-)

No doubt they were concerned about being named in a lawsuit...

Corporations provide significant immunity for individuals, so I'm
sure they'd prefer that the corporation be sued.  ;-)
