CD Copy protection help

[UroBoros]

Hai

I want to copy protect my distribution CDs.

My CD should not be copyable with nero or such similer disc copy tool.

I am not looking for a 1000$ dollar commercial solution used in Game Cds.

I have seen some locally burn CDs (not punched) which cannot be copied. They wont get copied in a burning software.Some files can be copied using copy command and some otheres wont.(They will display some sort of CRC error or something when we try to copy)

I am not trying to protect my CD from an experienced programer or hacker for that matter (I know it is almost impossible). But I want to prevent simple casual persons who just use nero or copy to do it. If they encounter resistence they will surely quit.

(minimum wish! )


Suggessions please

See, I am not looking for a high end solution like https://www.star-force.com/

Which is very costly and handles 1000 of copies.

As I mentioned already I have seen local cd,s with such small a trick .

The purpose I intend is only comparable to a dog maintained as a deterent for theifes.

No dog will serve a fortress to a professional killer ,but petty thiefs will stay away from a dog.

may be some codes in the creation of the main executable in the cd itself.I am not sure

Hi, I know what you want but the problem is you can't create this with a normal copy program you need special software for this and a normal CDR !. I do not know if this software is out there but its possible (worked in this field and have patents on my name in this field .

Any CD or DVD can be copied ..
Maybe you should consider USB/serial/parallel dongle ..

You are right ! But after years of studying I have found a few techniques which also let's one use a NORMAL CDR and normal CD Burning software.

ALtough, the best protection I made till date required special CDs

I would definitely like to keep in touch with you about this interest of ours

@IanP

Right On !

Any CD or DVD can be copied.

But then does it not matter if the resulting CD/DVD is usable or not

Got it ?

Will be interested to see and meet (shake hands) with the first person to copy Blueray disks (cracked) ...

And for CD and DVD they can be secure, CD is more of a problem since there is a large install base of players and we can only modify the standard in a way that normal players work fine and copy players fail to do there work.
