how do i add basic copy protection?

I would like to add basic copy protection to cds that I burn. How do I do this in Nero? Or is there another program I need? thanx!

CDs can't be directly copy protected, you must encrypt the data files on the CD using some program, then use that program to decrypt the files.

You can encrypt data files using WinZip or many other programs -- check the free programs sticky thread here, or search on "encrypt" or "password protect" at your favorite shareware site.

Game copy protection works differently: none of the data is protected, the game just is written to look for special bad spots on the CD when it starts up, and stops if the bad spots are missing.

Hmm... I like your 2nd idea of protecting the cd from being copied. What's a program that can do that?
