I found a thread on the HTF today (which has since been deleted) &#8212; apparently the new &#8216;copy proof&#8217; CD&#8217;s can be copied with some <em>old<\/em> software. The copies may actually be better than the original CD&#8217;s, too! Here&#8217;s the info:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\n  disclaimer: I&#8217;m posting this so others can make back-up copies of cds they legally own.<\/p>\n<p>  I picked up More Fast and the Furious mainly to see if I could crack the copy-proof measures the labels feel they must take. I first tried to playing it in my computer and dvd player to make sure it was copy-proof, and it was, it wouldn&#8217;t play in either. I then tried ripping the cd with Adaptec, and Exact Audio Copy (EAC), and each one errored out. I next tried ripping the cd with EAC&#8217;s error correction mode, and even this didn&#8217;t work, I was starting to believe these cds were copy-proof.<\/p>\n<p>  I decided to then try an old (from 1997) cd copier I had laying around, <a href=\"http:\/\/ntius.com\/\" title=\"Newtech Infosystems\">NTI (Newtech Infosystems) Cd-maker<\/a>. It was so old I had to download a patch to get disc-at-once burning. Surprisingly it worked perfectly, even copying the cd-rom portion of the disc. It may even have applied some error correction to the copy I made because I was able to copy, and rip the &#8220;copy&#8221; in anything I tried after that.<\/p>\n<p>  So spread the word, copy-proof cds are anything but. I wonder, would it be ethical to now get my guaranteed refund? Only kidding.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I found a thread on the HTF today (which has since been deleted) &#8212; apparently the new &#8216;copy proof&#8217; CD&#8217;s can be copied with some old software.
