Protecting your CD/DVD requires additional hardware because there is no software that can allow you to protect your entire CD/DVD entirely and you have to use recorders with additional protection features like Securom, Starforce, Laserlock or Tages. These locking solutions are basically modified hardware components which are able to write content to a CD/DVD using sophisticated methods, thus, implementing copy protection and multiplication. These solutions are often used for anti-piracy measures and can be employed for data copy protection as well.
