There is, unfortunately. An example is "Cactus Data Shield". The bad |
| 10 |
thing is that it even breaks the standard, resulting in the copy |
| 11 |
protected audio CD not playing back in some players (PC CD-ROMs for |
| 12 |
example or CD players with MP3 support). |

Such CDs are actually required to refrain from using the "CDDA" logo on |
| 15 |
their casing. Some even mention that they are copy protected. |

In any case, it's very difficult or even impossible to copy some of them |
| 24 |
with regular CD-ROM drives. Some require analog copying or using the |
| 25 |
digital-out connector of the drive. |
