Can CloneCD, Nero or other robust CD copy utilities copy CD-COPS protected discs?
There are many CD copy utilities that try (and many times succeed) to read and replicate the special signature that the copy protection systems put on the original CD-ROMs. Most copy protection systems suffer from these utilities and try to enhance the technology used to create their signature. These utilities cannot be a threat for CD-COPS protected discs, since these CD-ROMs do not contain any signature as described above. Every unauthorized copy of a CD-COPS original CD-ROM has BY DESIGN a different key. Therefore, it cannot run.
