oh I forgot to say, I think the reason CD generation came up in the first place was that Mario was refering to people who make MP3s from Audio CDs and THEN burn them back as Audio CD's for their friends (from the MP3 source rather than the prefered CD source)

so you have....

CD source (good quality) ----> encoded to MP3 (not quite as good quality) ----> burned to CD (still not sounding as good as the first CD they came from)

So you can imagine if enough people kept doing this over and over it would degrade the quality of the recording and 'pollute the trading pool'. This seems to be the main concern of Mario and the other guys..
