Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0074053A1] Digital audio compact discs (CD-DA) which carry audio can be played and read by CD-ROM drives. Thus the data on the CD-DA may be read into a computer by way of its ROM drive and copied onto another disc. The increasing availability of recorders able to write to CD's poses an enormous threat to the music industry. To copy protect a digital audio compact disc (6), where control data useable by a data reader is encoded on the disc, selected control data is rendered incorrect and/or inaccurate. The incorrect data is either inaccessible to, or not generally read by, an audio player such that a legitimate audio CD which has been copy protected can be played normally on an audio player. However, the incorrect data renders the CD unplayable by a data reader.
