I'm trying to burn a .mp3 file onto an audio CD however it is telling me that I am not licensed to burn this file and that I must license it. Is there any way around this? What exactly must I do to burn this file?
I can play it in winamp fine... it just won't burn to a CD.

Hmmm... Never ran into this one before.
I assume you're trying to write an audio track from the .mp3...
Try converting it to a .wav file first.

Yeah I've never had this problem before either. Thanks for the pointers. Going to try and convert it now.

just wait until trusted computing + hardware DRM
piracy will die

Actually you can pirate a game for the Xbox 360. Some guy figured it out

It's been done, it's just ungodly difficult. It's only a matter of time before it becomes more common.

they will never be able to stop piracy of video and music. worst comes to worst and i will run music out of one sound card into another... even if hardware drm forces me to run that line out to another computer entirely.

A guy managed to get a copied 360 game working, but he had to reprogram the firmware on the dvd player using special hardware.
The only reason he managed to do it was that the 360 didn't checksum the dvd firmware. It was a mistake. If the dvd player firmware had been checksum-ed, he wouldn't have been able to get the game working. I think he even mentioned it would be possible to introduce a checksum check in a mandatory update over the xbox live system.
Getting a copied game to play using advanced technical skills and special hardware isn't "pirating" a game, it's getting a copy to play. People don't buy or download pirated games for the 360 because it's more expensive in time and effort than to just buy the game. It will be the same for future consoles, I imagine.
That's the future of anti-piracy. Turn home computers into advanced consoles. Everything is encrypted, everything is checksum checked, if you change anything you weren't supposed to, nothing works.
Hell, there's even talk of chipping monitors and speakers so that even the output streams of computers can be encrypted, forcing people to either turn to greymarket hardware or use a physically separate copying device to capture the media to copy protected content.
You chip everything, you encrypt everything, you checksum everything. You make it difficult enough to pirate media that no-one bothers. And sure, there will always be geeks that manage after weeks of effort to break the system, and we'll all watch the internet videos and be impressed, but the truth is, make it difficult enough, time consuming enough and expensive enough and piracy dies. And when people have forgotten about it, you introduce laws to make circumventing drm, letting people circumvent drm or even talking about circumventing drm really, really, really illegal. Oh, or was that the first step?
The reason that DRM is so weak in general at the moment is that trying to get protected content to play on an open, user-controlled system is next to impossible. But there are clear, clear movements towards taking back control of the system. Trusted computing is popular among the people that matter - hardware companies, big software companies, content providers. Consumers don't care enough to want to protect their rights. And so what if new media won't play on FOSS operating systems? The content providers won't care. Hell, they sell "CDs" at the moment that won't play on linux systems properly.
I don't want any of this, but I think it's very, very likely.

Is piracy really that big of a problem? Me and most people I know that have pirated software wouldn't have boughten most of it anyway.
I think one of the things that will stop a lot of this scary content protection things is simply the costs to impliment them. What's the point of spending all this dough if it costs almost as much as the losses from piracy in the first place?

1) You spread it around... the hardware makers spend the money while the software makers reap the benefits.
2) It is a short term cost with a long term gain. Once the technology is in place, the cost goes down, and the gain goes up.
3) Piracy is a much larger issue in other areas of the world.
4) There has always been a cycle with anti-piracy techniques. The companies get anal, the people break the system. Repeat. Hardware solutions, though not fool proof (see DVDROM copy protection for a great case study), are much stronger than software solutions. By introducing a end to end hardware solution, the companies are hoping to break the cycle. Where there is a will, there is a way... somebody will break it.

This isn't just talk, it's HDMI. 
I agree with Seuss, where there's a will there's a way. Ultimately, as long as you have a device that can decode the data, it's impossible to hide the inner workings from a determined hacker. And for that I am very grateful. Hell I wouldn't have bought an Xbox in the first place if I couldn't mod it heh.

modded xbox pwns, but on a side not, with trusted computing, wouldn't it always be possible to rip certain data that is protected by it, patch or sign it with your own programmed digital signiture compatible to all your hardware, then all the hardware will think it is original media, therefore trusted, and you can use it.
doesn't seem that hard to me, but what do I really know?

ONLY solution for piracy: lower prices for thing being pirated. I have never heard a better solution, but I'm open to ideas.

I'll check that out when I have access to newsgroups, but I'm sceptical until I see it.

well it took over a year until the ps2 mods were out and working 100%. 360 will probably be the same
