Hello
This may be a little off topic as I don't fully understand what you're all talking about :-) Sorry if this is a stupid question but it is something I have always wondered:
I don't understand why disk copy protection works. I understand that the disk may use a custom bootblock, custom loader, custom format etc. But at the lowest level, the data on that disk is still made up of 1s and 0s, right? So surely if the exact same pattern of 1s and 0s is duplicated on another disk, the bootblock, loader, disk format etc would all be preserved? So why does the copy protection have to be cracked before the disk can be copied?
