How to Avoid a CD Copy

Adding copy protection to your CD's can help prevent your work from being illegally distributed on the Internet. While potentially anyone could benefit from CD protection, artists or people who need to keep backups of sensitive information should be particularly aware of its importance. Thankfully, the process of adding copy protection to a CD is a fairly straightforward one, and even casual computer users can create their own protected CD's at home, using free or shareware software.
