tages is not *that* new...
mr3 can easily be copied with clonecd. it will install. it will startup. but it will run in
demo-mode 
. that is the "special part" of tages. you can also say: "FADE that works"
there were rumors that someone succesfully (no demo-mode) copied mr3 with a teac cdr-55s and blindwrite suite. but nobody verified this and now this is mostly seen as a fake.
