Thought I'd clear up a few issues here.

1. Clony XXL and similar apps only detect commercial protections and also whether the cd is oversized (above 650Mb), or contains simple errors to the cd structure (e.g. illegal table of contents).
2. "CDCheck" is not a standard commercial protection but a simple check within the game's code to ensure a corrrect cd is in the drive, usually by checking the label or presence of a specific file. If no other protection is present (which usually is designed also to encrypt the game's loader.exe to prevent peeps from disassembling it and removing this cd check) then most cd burners and clonecd will copy it.

In summary, if Clony doesn't find a cd protection on the cd then there is a good chance (but not 100% foolproof) that none exists. The cd check is therefore a simple piece of code within the game's loader which is independant of anything uncopiable on the cd. So your burner should have no problem copying this title as there would appear to be no mechanism on the cd itself to prevent copying.
