Cd Write Protection
- Thread starter sameer795
- Start date
There isn't too much you can do when protected materials are already being duplicated with the number of cd and dvd writers being sold. You would need some type of encryption code and process for embedding that into your disks. When someone tried to copy the code would interfere at least partially. It also depends on what type of data or files are on the disks themselves.

That was in English.
The only thing that would hamper someone trying to access any files on the disks would be an encryption method where a password or other tool would be needed.One thing to try out is something like TrueCrypt. http://www.snapfiles.com/opinions/TrueCrypt/TrueCrypt.html Once your files are encrypted anyone can copy a disk but still wouldn't be able to access what is on them.
I know that i cannot do much but another thing is that i do not know much about all this stuff. I am a new pc user, trying to learn. I do have a software that is able to protect exe files but i am looking forward for mp3/video cd write protection. Plz help me with this.

What you are trying to say is that one can copy the disk but cannot access it. But what i meant to say was that one can access the data on the disk but cannot copy the disk on their HDD or any other media. Still thanks for the software, it also helped me.
It's rather a tough item for the average user since there are too many different programs that can used to copy commercially produced media let alone something you produce privately. Take a look at Microsoft's product activation to fight software piracy there as one example. Having a security code embedded on the disks themselves to block duplication is something they have wanted for some time now.
Still in India, there are many who do not know much about all this stuff. So here I am to prevent my disks from them. Also, how and what kind of security kind do you put on the disks for anti-piracy.
Software disks themselves will have a product id number encoded onto the disks where you have to have the serial number in order to install the program there. Without that the installation won't complete and the program simply will not run. It doesn't stop files and folders from being copied from the disks. But the product numbers are hidden from view.
One thing that businesses use is a drive lock. That simply prevents disk copying and copying from the system where it is installed. http://www.secure-it.com/shop/produ...d/160?osCsid=adca16477b1e357a781e737b1ad755c4
Optical recording disks capable of preventing illegal copying is the thing you need. The freepatentsonline may have what you need in that sense. http://www.freepatentsonline.com/6438097.html
For dvd anti piracy review the page at http://www.opticaldisc-systems.com/SepOct99/50Copy.htm One copy prevention system is described at http://www.cs.princeton.edu/~jhalderm/cd3/ But even there the admission that no disk system can fully prevent copying from one part of a disk or another.
But then there's always some program if you look hard enough for it. http://www.licenturion.com/index.php?id=3

Hey PC eye,
Thanks for your help and support, but still my problem isnt solved. Plz help me by providing a few steps for going through the protection process.

Well the best guide is generally the user's manual where you are taken step by step through the features that program alone has. The last link there for the Licenturion was the best suited for what you were looking for there The manual is the thing there that will provide the steps. http://www.licenturion.com/index.php?id=32
The best thing for you is to get familiar with the manual and other information provided by the manufacturer since you are the one that will have to make it work there. There's still no 100% fail proof system to prevent someone from copying material from or simply copying a dvd you make. All I can do is point you towards a program. You will have to put it to the test to see if it works.

Even the big commercial companies are having a hard time stopping their data from being hacked or copied, so an individual such as yourself will have an even harder time. As regards MP3 files, they don't support any kind of anti-piracy/anti-copying, that's why the format is favoured by the free-thinking community but never used by Microsoft or Apple or the other big media companies.
Your best policy is simply to keep your data safely locked away or out of sight, and be careful who has access to it.

lol.. Don't like being led around in circles? Can't say I blame you. As I have said in another thread, BS has a way of baffling brains. 
The best way to learn about effective copy protection is to learn from the people that break it.
There is a site I know of that specializes in cracking game copy protections. I won't link to their site. You can find it on Google if you want. However, they have a link on their site to the following:
http://www.cdmediaworld.com/hardware/cdrom/cd_protections.shtml
This page lists all the known copy protections, along with links to them. You can peruse the list and choose the one that's right for you. Now, you understand that all of them can be cracked, but the person you give your disks too would have to be desperate and there would have to be a market for the distribution of your media before any cracking team will take on the case, so I wouldn't worry about it too too much.
The idea here is that you will at least slow them down, and that's the best you can hope for.

We know "Your" Specialty already! sameer795 is not interested in those that "hack" protected softwares. He is looking for a security method to prevent duplication of materials on written to optical media.
