DigeratiPrime Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 Any CD/DVD can be copied very easily.All you can do (if feasible) is limit distribution, that is you carry around the only copy. Maybe encrypt the backup image too. BTW its easy to disable AutoRun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LLXX Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 True copy protection is a myth, it's more like a 'copy hindrance'.If you created the CD with a standard CD burner, it can be copied.Even systems that rely on physical differences in the disks (e.g. ProRing et al.) can be defeated easily, so if you're just creating the CD with your CD burner, you are definitely not going to make anything hard to copy.You don't want others to make a copy of your CD, don't give it to them.

nitroshift Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 If you are using Nero to burn the cd, when it says "Writing Lead-in and Lead-out" click cancel. The data is still on the cd, but can't be copied... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DigeratiPrime Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 um but you could still drag and drop the files off the cd into a folder and burn a new cd i think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoffeeFiend Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 Yeah, that makes no sense. If you cancel during lead-in, there won't be anything on the CD (lead-in is before the data track itself). And cancelling during the lead-out will NOT prevent anyone from copying... Besides, it takes very good timing to do so. Lead-out is quite short, and the burning apps don't react instantly (click cancel, confirm you want to, app does it's thing and tries to make the drive stop - always takes a while). If anything, you'll just have a non-standard CD that will give you problems. If the PC using it to install can read it, it can be copied.The only effective protection here is preventing physical access. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
