Cry out to all you programmers out there

Here's a question that I've been wondering about for awhile: if one had the right kind of hardware (like CD manufacturing hardware) could you take an image of a disk and then press an exact duplicate (with all the peaks and valleys, pits, gooves, whatever in the exact same place)? I mean if you did this then no piece of software could tell the differeence, unless it was looking for changes at the molecular level.
