Random thought of the day....
I've seen a few CDs around where the manufacturer has deliberately included
errors on the disc to make piracy more difficult - which is a noble enough
thing to do, but a bit of a pain in the butt when you want to make a
legitimate backup copy of a disc :-(
Has anyone come across tools (Linux preferred, but I could stomach Windows if
I had to!) which can duplicate such discs and produce errors in the output at
the same block as the input? (I assume any software on such
deliberately-crippled media would check for the presence of known errors at
install / run time)
cheers
