ANOTHER RESPONSE
Alright, I suppose there are a few more notes to be added. First, I am proposing the concept, but I am not proposing a question. In other word's I am not asking anyone if this works, I am telling you how it works.
It is obvious and important to note that an individual has the right to protect intellectual property and etc. At the same time, it is just as if not more important to note the damage this can do to the intellectual properties of others. One person can think up an idea that can damage many persons position, but one argument to that idea can protect the many persons position as well as that individuals. Let me go into the legal part of the concept. If there are any technical questions ask, but here is the concept once it is understood how it works and that it does work. If you have a dataspace that is on your system that is proven to be impossible to duplicate, at the same time that it is varied in signature, than you have unknown dataspace. In other words, the signature is designed so that if you purchase the original and you decide to give it away or sell it, the signature will evolve with the original sor of like a polymorphic signature based on a single key. For example if the cd-rom is protected by a hologram, than the varied key can reflect off of the hologram making it impossible to duplicate. At the same time it carries and matches any signatures in any drive it goes into. No 2 drives can match a random burn pattern. All this is great and an awesome idea, but you also have an un-identified dataspace. In other words, you have writeable space on the cd-rom that can not be duplicated, but the random signature can theoretically and conceptually take random data. Here is an argument. OVERBURNING. If you overburn a CD-Rom, it can have varied lenght!? Correct?! So is that not the same thing!? No! Because the adminstrator who would have to contemplate this, could base security on a finalized segment with no possibility to read beyond a specific point on the disc. With a varied signature, you have random dataspace that is different and is part of the data segment that has to be read and can not be patched. What I am saying is, you can not detect this in SafeDisc2 at the time, but just as it is a "POSSIBLE" BETA test of a new security system being designed by an un-named security company, you have the possibility that someone else knows this and can use the BETA test for a simple backdoor, such as nothing more than getting for example a single registry key off of your system. Does THAT make more sense!? In other words, it's just as illegal and I would say out of 100%, less than a quarter of 1% would know how to check for this type of material on the CD-ROM! It's theoretically that sensitive!
