Abstract

See full text

A method to protect content within protected data areas on a target optical record carrier against unauthorized reading and/or copying with a computer, comprises the steps of—determining whether a target optical record carrier or a non-target optical record carrier is inserted into a drive of the computer, and—in case a target optical record carrier is inserted into the drive of the computer—modifying read requests to the protected data areas so that no data is read or the read data is useless, and/or—modifying write commands in respect to the data within the protected data areas to a recordable record carrier or other storage so that the written data is useless.
