I'm in the process of making my own music cd/dvd. How do I add copy proctection to my cd/dvd media I have created? Any info would be great help. Thanks.

Do you actually believe it'll stop anyone from copying it? All copy protection does is screw the people who legitimatly own it, the people who really want to steal it won't have any issues. Believe me, if I want a copy bad enough I'll get it.

Most of the copy protection schemes also limit play compatibility, so you will probably end up making a CD that some people couldn't even listen to, let alone copy.

can't really be done - if it plays in a normal CD player a person can always take the analog / line out and run it to the line-in of a soundcard, which is one reason why the introduction of "copy-protected" CDs is a very stupid idea.

I own over 1,200 CDs and buy about 5 new ones a month, but I'll refuse to buy any copy-protected ones. I want to be able to rip for my MP3 jukebox PC and flash player, and I'm not going to support anyone who tries to deny me fair use of the music I pay for.
