CD-ROM security >1) Use a unique ISO-9660 serial number on each CD. This will require extra >fees at the replication plant to encode this onto the disk as part of the >stamping process plus you'll have to write some software (Xtra?) to >read/decode this number. There is a German company that does something similar, optimal media production GmbH, that some of my customers have used successfully. http://www.optimal-online.de They call the process Copy-X. They master a CD that has a key written to some usually non-readable part of the CD, similar to the serial number scheme above. They also make a DLL that reads the key which you can access with Ravi Singh's Glu32 Xtra. There is a behavior already written for it. But last I checked, there was no Mac version of the software that reads the key. Gretchen Macdowall
