Make Your Own Copy-Protected CD with Passive Protection\nThursday December 15, 2005 by J. Alex Halderman \nHere’s a great gift idea just in time for the holidays: Make your friends and relatives their very own copy-protected CDs using the same industrial-grade passive protection technology built into XCP and Macrovision discs.\n\nPassive protection exploits subtle differences between the way computers read CDs and the way ordinary CD players do. By changing the layout of data on the CD, it’s sometimes possible to confuse computers without affecting ordinary players — or so the theory goes. In practice, the distinction between computers and CD players is less precise. Older generations of CD copy protection, which relied entirely on passive protection, proved easy to copy in some computers and impossible to play on some CD players. For these reasons, copy protection vendors now use active protection — special software designed to block copying.\n\nDiscs with XCP or Macrovision protection employ active protection in conjunction with a milder form of passive protection. You can create your own CD with exactly the same passive protection by following a straightforward five-step procedure. I’ll describe the procedure here, and then explain why it works.\n\nWhat you’ll need:\n\nA computer running a recent version of Windows (instructions are Windows-specific; perhaps someone will write instructions for MacOS or Linux) \nNero, a popular CD burning application \nCloneCD, an advanced disc duplication utility \nTwo blank recordable CDs \nStep 1: Burn a regular audio CD\n\nStart Nero Burning ROM and create a new Audio CD project. [View] Add the audio tracks that you want to include on your copy-protected disc. [View] When you’re ready to record, click the Burn button on the toolbar. In the Burn tab, make sure “Finalize disc” is unchecked. [View] Insert a blank CD and click Burn. Be careful not to infringe any copyrights! For loads of great music that you can copy legally, visit Creative Commons.\n\nStep 2: Add a data session to the CD\n\nStart another Nero compilation, this time selecting the “CD-ROM ISO” project type. In the Multisession tab, make sure “Start Multisession disc” is selected; and in the ISO tab, make sure Data Mode is set to “Mode 2 / XA”. [View] Add any files that you want to be accessible when the CD is used in a computer. You might include “bonus” content, such as album art and lyrics. [View] For a more professional effect, consider adding the installer for your favorite spyware application and creating an Autorun.inf file so it starts automatically. When you’re finished, click the Burn toolbar button. Insert the audio CD you created in Step 1, and click Burn. [View] Nero should warn you that the disc you’ve inserted is not empty; click Yes to add your data files as a second session. [View]\n\nAt this point, you’ve created a CD that contains both audio tracks and data files. The data files you put on the CD should be visible in Windows Explorer (in My Computer, right click the CD icon and click Open) and the audio tracks should be rippable with your favorite audio player. To add passive copy protection, you’ll need to modify the layout of the data on the disc so that the audio tracks are more difficult to access.\n\nStep 3: Rip the CD as a CloneCD image file\n\nMake sure the CD you just created is still in the drive and start CloneCD. Click the “Read to Image File” button. Select your drive and click Next. Choose “Multimedia Audio CD” and click Next. [View] Select an easy to find location for the image file and click OK to begin ripping.\n\nStep 4: Modify the image file to add passive protection\n\nThe CloneCD image you created in step 3 actually consists of three files with names ending in .CCD, .IMG, and .SUB. The .CCD file describes the layout of the tracks and sessions on the CD. You’ll edit this file to add the passive protection.\n\nStart Windows Notepad and ope

you cannot prevent viewing or copying or saving of the rendered source code.\n\nYou would have to have control at the server level.\n\nSince you have no control over that server, there's nothing you can do to stop right clicking.

You can only do this if you are running Windows. Open iTunes, select File > Import > (Select the unprotected .wma file you want to be converted)

This happens alot with many games that utilized SafeDisc 2 copy protection...it is a pain in the arse but there is no easy work around (if this is what you have described)

you can setup a required password to modify the word document or setup a password to open the document not sure if these help you out at all....\n\nyou can read about them here:\nhttp://support.microsoft.com/kb/822924\n\nalso, keep in mind you can't truly stop someone from copying information they have on their computer.  So if this is something going out to people you don't trust - you can't trust that the information won't be stolen.

You could try running turbo.exe to slow down your system memory, that should have a knock-on effect on wmv files. Type 'Turbo.exe' into a decent search engine and you should get this program to download.

Assuming you're running Windows XP, you could run mmc and adding the group policy snap-in. Then you can modify your local group policies.

You need to remove the DRM on the wma files. However, this is not possible at the moment.\nBUT....\nthere is a way to make a "legal" backup of any DRM (protected) song.\nYou need to get MuVAudio software, which comes with a virtual audio cable. This software plays the song via WMP and re-records it as an mp3 file.\nYou can then d/load from Napster, convert the files then you are free to burn to a cd or put it on you mp3 player.
