That they have found a way to prevent people from burning illegal copies of games??? Uhh, I heard from someone that tried and they said the discs wouldn't work, or copy. Anybody have a clue???

Um...they've tried to do this for quite some time.

Besides unauthorized distribution of software is strictly forbidden by the law. I am sure the authorities would be pleased to find out what you are up to.

the newest games all have a sort of protection on it, but the popular ones all have cracks to be used to be able to get around them

yes, it can be prevented, but there are various hacks to get around their prevention in most cases

are you talking about computer or ps2 games? for the computer i know it is possible to burn games but im not sure about ps2. for the computer you can download "cracks" that you replace the .exe file with in the games folder, thus then making it burnable.(is burnable a word?)

The last few years game developers more and more are protecting their games with commercial CD Protections. Until now none of these CD Protections have really helped, in some cases it even can work against you as some CD-ROM players can not handle the protection. So we have to wait before game developers get it that it is a waist of effort and money protecting CD's.
Now the music industry has hopped the bandwagon and now is selling protected audio CD's. These CD's can be backed up using a variety of methods but usually an easy 1:1 backup is not possible. This is exactly what they want, making it harder to make a backup so that people will buy the original. Only they did not think about the fair use laws which are common in most countries!

As CD's are not 100% indestructible many people want to make a backup of their games. Using the backup to play the game thus saving the original. Especially when it involves children it is VERY handy to have them use a backup. Because of these CD Protections it is getting harder and harder just to make a working backup.

Keep in mind that in most countries you are legally allowed to make a backup of a CD which you legally own. Some gaming companies won't allow you to make a backup and use the argument that a broken (original) CD will be replaced, but in most cases the costs for replacing it is usually more then buying the game again!

This page contains a list of all known CD Protections which are currently on the market, how they can be detected and how to by-pass many of them.

There are currently a number of tools which are able to detect which CD Protection is being used on you original CD's.

Check out these links for all the utilities to h4x0r the CD protection...

Are you guys really that poor? Do you know how many months, sometimes years go into making those games? Read the reviews, download the demo, and if you don't like it, don't buy it. If you do, lay off the pipe for a week and buy it. Give the makers some credit.
