If u ever decide to make you own CD, why not protect it from being copied??? Below is a simple way of how to add a protection to your CDs WITHOUT any special programs. If u want programs to do it go HEREr

One way to help make duplication harder on a  data CD is by adding a dummy Data track so that the backup disc will have 2 Data tracks (which is in fact an Illegal Table of Contents). Example using  CDRWin:    Create an image of the CD (1 Mode2 data track). The CUE-file should look something like this: FILE "C:\TEMP\CRASH3.BIN" BINARY TRACK 01 MODE2/2352 INDEX 01 00:00:00  Go to - CDRWin -> Record Disc -> Load Cuesheet and read the Total Disc Time . Now add another (dummy) data track at the end of the cue file by using notepad and set it to the Total Disc Time minus 2 seconds). FILE "C:\TEMP\CRASH3.BIN" BINARY TRACK 01 MODE2/2352 INDEX 01 00:00:00 TRACK 02 MODE2/2352 INDEX 01 32:34:12 <-- Total Disc Time  minus 2 seconds.  Look at CDRWin -> Record Disc -> Disc Layout... and you will see the added track starts 2 minutes later. The time is equal to the Lead Out starttime, so it should not come in range of the data track. Now record disc with CDRWin and you will get a CD with 2 data tracks.  Nero Burning Rom is the only program that can make a copy of this CD using the CD-Recorder as CD-Reader. It can't be copied on a CD-ROM reader  This trick should also work with Mixed Mode and Audio CD's. To create an Mixed-Mode CD with an Illegal TOC,  subtract 4 seconds from the total time instead of the 2 seconds (just subtract seconds until CDRWin accepts the CUE-Sheet). Keep in mind that in CDRWin the total time of the new track should be at least the lead-out time.
