hi mate.

firstly, you misunderstand. I was not implying that you produce copies, but merely stated that with a "working" cd (be that an original or good working copy with sub-channel data intact) could be used to overcome the hard part of cracking securom v2.
Namely that unless you are a genius with advanced encryption techniques, then you are better to let the program decrypt itself in memory after it has accessed the cd.
You can then dump the FULL loader program, disassemble it so you can remove the "silly insert cd message". The trick is then rebuilding the IAT and correctly re-directing API calls away from the securom code.

And if you have successfully cracked other securom games then you should understand what I posted before. They are fairly similar to R!SC's tuts, except for some of the api decryptor coding and routines and a small trick to fool memory dumpers to give overly large dumps.

Good luck anyway
