hi… I want to know some ways to protect cd from duplicating by others after i write my movie there.
Is it possible to protect it from action script??? or must I have a specific software?
do u want a software that protects UR actionscript, i dun think that actionscript can protect ur cd from duplicating!

big software companies spend big bucks to try to make cds hard to duplicate. and some kid always breaks the protection within a few days. i don’t think any major software or game cd even has copy protection any more. they gave up.
Yeah, I agree with bit. The only cds that aren’t burned that much are usually DVDs, but that is because DVD Burners cost a fortune.
But that is changing because a lot of new computers come with DVD/CD Burners anymore… so there goes the downfall of DVDs :-\
so…?? the conclusion is there’s no way to protect our precious job from duplicating by others??**what a waste of time & money for designers & programmers to burn it through cd’s…

welcome to the real world. :-\
They came out with copy-proof CDs at one point, but within a couple of days they found out that all you had to do was take a marker and color over a certain part of the CD. Some games have a protection factor that is a file that will not copy correctly when you attempt to burn it. There are many ways around it if you know what you are doing, but many casual users do not.
the way i look at it is, the data has to be readable by the computer - otherwise, it’s a pretty useless cd, right? if the computer can read it, it has access to the data and can store that data somewhere else and re-write it. that’s the rock bottom basics of it. thus, there will never be a completely fool proof copy protection scheme.
the basic idea of copy protection is that the data is in a special format that can only be read by an application that will use it. so your usual system commands can’t read it. but once someone cracks that special format, it’s over.
any alternative media coming soon???
Ermmm, don’t think so.
All media is able to be copied.
You can even hook a cable from your computer and recorder shows to burn them to cds now.
All types of media can be copied, and if not, they will eventually find a way.
Because as bit said, as long as that information can be read, it can be copied.
