This trick is working on passive analysis breakup and let me introduce that thingPassive protection exploits subtle differences between the way computers read CDs and the way
ordinary CD players do By changing the layout of data on the CD, it's sometimes possible to confuse computers without affecting ordinary players — or so the theory goes. In practice, the distinction between computers and CD players is less precise. Older generations of CD copy protection, which relied entirely on passive protection, proved easy to copy in some computers and impossible to play on some CD players. For these reasons, copy protection vendors now use active protection — special software designed to block copying.
Discs with XCP or
Macrovision protection
employ active protection in conjunction with a milder form of passive protection. You can create your own CD with exactly the same passive protection by following a straightforward five- step procedure. I'll describe the procedure here, and then explain why it works. What you'll need br /
