Been a lot of discussion about this some time ago, matey.

The big thing to remember is that this coding is as only as good as the protection mechanism it relies on. i.e. if your disc is a 1:1 copy then how does the prog know it's a copy??
The only protection causing probs at the mo, is Safedisc2. BUT, many people are having probs installing and running ORIGINAL discs. So, is it good marketing to rely upon an imperfect protection mechanism which may well stuff up users who are playing from an original? Me thinks not.

There is no panic here. There is a certain amount of BS associated with this sort of thing. Why? To make you buy the original and not copy it, of course.

Even if this mechanism was to be introduced, how long do you think it would take for a crack or patch to surface? Not very long I bet ya.
