Reading, surfing, hearsay, etc...
But hey, I'm but only a newbie in the matter
the 'cdfreaks' forum can sometimes be an interesting source of info
perhaps U could also check out 'cdrinfo.com'

But, will there ever be CD-RWs and software than can copy SecuROM 4.8+ and etc! I am talking 1:1 copy, not workable copy.
I don't know, I think if something CAN be read, then it CAN be copied  .

To this day, only hardware-based copy protections, eg. based on density variation (securom 4/8xx, starforce) pose a real 1:1 copy problem - the Plextor premium is (to this day) the only burner that can reproduce sector density variations (almost)1:1. However, since all modern readers/burners can
read these variations, the ability to write them is most certainly a
firmware issue.
If it can be Read it can be Burnt
Besides density variations can easily be
statically emulated using the Blindwrite-BWAbuilder combo, ie. without any emulator having to run in the background - to do so, BW uses the 'twinpeak' method or something.
Blindwrite+BWAbuilder seems 2B the most versatile tool (backup Safedisk 2.8+, Securom 4.8xx, etc...) however
quality seems dubious at times - I once tried to backup a 'Ring-Protech new' disk (game wuz 'Inquisition', european version) using Blindwrite with 'multiple gaps' setting as recommended - it's like 'Intelligent Sector Scan' in Clonecd - and ran into a sh*tload of probs
. I had to turn to clonecd with ISS on to pull it off.
