Thanks.
I burned a copy protected CD (Staind), using Clone CD. No probs! :D

or clone cd
or
blindwrite
or
nero and get a nocd crack
I just use dbPoweramp
but also my Lite on is a burner which gets around copyright shit
Put in your CD. Straight away press shift. I think this stops the auto run feathure on the CD that protects it. I'm not sure though. Try it and tell me what happens.
I tried but it wouldn't workQuote:
I think some of you may have misunderstooded me..... i am try to rip a audio CD .....not a game.
My apologise for the poorly worded post.

Shift key breaks latest CD anti-rip tech - grad student
By Tony Smith
Posted: 08/10/2003 at 15:53 GMT
A Princeton PhD student has published a paper detailing the music industry's latest CD copy protection scheme - and how the technique can be bypassed by simply holding down the host computer's Shift key when a 'protected' CD is inserted.
The copy-protection mechanism in question is SunnComm's MediaMax CD3 system. Launched in September, the company claimed its technology had passed strict testing to Recording Industry Ass. of America (RIAA) copy-protection standards with "flying colours".
The "comprehensive test procedures" - SunnComm's words - were performed by "world-renowned" Professional Multimedia Test Centre (PMTC), based in Belgium. PMTC Division Manager Frans Pender is quoted by SunnComm as saying MediaMax C3 offered "an incredible level of security for the music".
However, Princeton Computer Science Department student Alex Halderman's own analysis concludes MediaMax C3 is "irreparably flawed" thanks to the "weakness of its design". It is, he reckons, "unlikely to cause any significant reduction in copying".
He adds: "In practice, many users who try to copy the disc will succeed without even noticing that it's protected, and all others can bypass the protections with as little as a single keystroke."
Halderman probed SunnComm's technology using an off-the-shelf CD from music label BMG. He found that when the disc was first inserted, it auto-installs a device driver that subsequently interferes with attempts to copying the songs on the CD. The disc contains versions of its songs in DRM-protected WMA format, to allows computer users to listen to the tracks freely and to download the songs to a Microsoft DRM-enabled portable music player.
MediaMax C3 uses Windows' Auto-run feature to install the device driver, says Halderman. By holding down the Shift key, Auto-run can be temporarily disabled, preventing the driver from being installed, and allowing the user to access the otherwise unprotected - and uninterefered with - standard AIFF tracks.
Those tracks are unprotected in order to allow the CD to be played on video game systems and DVD players. Other copy-protection mechanisms, which add errors to the music code on the CD, for example, have foundered because they proved problematic when used on these 'legitimate' playback systems. Ditto their inability to work on Macs. Halderman rightly acknowledges SunnComm's attempt to remove these restrictions, though he points out that the company's technology still leaves Linux users in the dark.
"The driver examines each CD placed in the machine, and when it recognizes the protected title, it actively interferes with read operations on the audio content," writes Halderman. The CD contains drivers for Windows 98/ME/2000/XP and Mac OS X.
Halderman is no mere dilettante in matters of copy protection. He studies under Princeton Professor Ed Felten, who lead the team that successfully took up the challenge to crack the ill-fated SDMI encryption system, and was threatened by the RIAA with a Digital Millennium Copyright Act infringement suit for his trouble.
Halderman has himself published a number of papers on the topic of copy-protection mechanisms.
SunnComm admits its technololgy isn't perfect: "MediaMax CD3 is not a 'holy grail' solution expected to end illicit file duplication and unlicensed sharing," said COO William H Whitemore at the launch. "However, what we expect it will do is create an effective structure on the CD itself that encourages legal and licensed copying activities.
"A determined 'digital shoplifter', like any thief, can always find ways to steal," he added. "However, when record companies employ MediaMax, they create a legal way for music lovers to copy and share the music they purchase."
That said, we're not sure that he had "a way to steal" as simple as the one revealed by Halderman.
We asked SunnComm for comment, but the company did not return our calls. PMTC's Pender was similarly unavailable. ®
i find. http://www.google.com helps me in my time of need.
also i once ripped j'lo - j' to tha lo the remixes by running a black marker around the underside of the cd.
Hello!
No need for any software tricks to copy them!
The data for the Copy Protection System is on a separate part of the disc to allow them to be played in ordinary stand alone CD and DVD players. This area is located at the outermost parts of the CD. You find this area by holding up your Copy Protected CD against a strong light source and look carefully at the CD. A Few millimeters or about 0.7-1.5CM(0.3-0.7 Inches) seen from the outer edge of the CD you will find a disticnt line that separate the 2 data fields on the CD. Use a Pen marker the ones that you uses on a white board(so that it comes of after the ripping is over) and draw a black line in a zig zag pattern around the entire circle but be carefull not to make it reach over the edge to the audio area. Then wait a bit so it dryes a little then just RIPP it and it will work just fine as standard Audio CD. This is because you have just made the data part of the CD unreadable and corrupted and the drive will then attempt to read the other information on the disc and the result will be that it will interpret it as beeing a standard Audio CD and allow you to just copy it. Some people might be affraid of drawing on their CD's and I have heard of people having success with the strips of Post It Notes aswell that they have taped around the entire edge of the CD but once again if you choose this method then you also have to be carefull so that you do not let the sticky strips to reach the Audio part of the CD they should never cross that line.
This method have worked all the times for me!
I wrote about this Copy Kill hack as I call it about 18 months ago on the Apple discussions area of Apple support(it was written during the weekends then removed by the mods since hacking procedures is not allowde there). Then a few days later I saw the exakt same procedure described in a online German Computer magazine that they obviously took from my post and tryed for them selves and it worked for them to, and they never gave me credit for it(Go figure,Who are commiting Copyright violations we ore the media :blink: )
Yawn. :huh: :ghostface: :music1:
Jibbler I want to rent the space in your signature.
What are the pricing plans?
