Hallo,

I actually intended to answer his question a bit: The "NO COPY" bit
doesn't really do copy protection as was pointed out. The "real" copy
protection that is used by some music labels is AFAIK not possible to
do with standard CD burners. In fact, the companies that develop copy
protection schemes for audio CD demand a license fee to allow someone
else to use it and they try to keep the actual process secret.
Quoting http://www.macrovision.com/products/cds/index.shtml
CDS is a single-station, stand-alone 'black box' installed in-line
between the data processing (DP) station and the laser beam recorder
(LBR) mastering system.
Here you have it: "black box"! So copy protection like the Big Boys
isn't available to us.
Ciao
