Definition: analog hole
A loophole for evading the copy protection applied to digital music and movies. Audio/video equipment typically has both analog and digital outputs, and most analog signals are not subject to copy protection. Therefore, the analog outputs can be used to re-record the content without restriction. For example, the output of the analog stereo audio and analog component video jacks on a Blu-ray player can be recorded free of digital rights management (see DRM). See analog sunset and component video.
