I'm not sure how the copy-protect codes work. The Hhb I use can add a copy
protect code to prevent digital duplication to another CD deck (I think
that is what is does - Benjamin??), but that doesn't prevent duplication to
a DAT and then back to a CD without the code - and use the CD for mastering
other CDs.

I'm not sure of the law in this regard - my question is more - how does the
code work and what are its limitations?

Sincerely,
Roger Garrett
