CD-Cops

One of the world's leading security systems for protecting CD-ROMs against pirate copying. Our CD copy-protection is used on millions of CDs each year, making us market leaders in prestige business applications.

CD-Cops copy-protection recognizes an original CD-ROM and rejects copies: those produced on a CD‑R writer, as well as those produced by "professional pirates" on glass masters. The protection doesn't require special CD-ROMs and any CD factory can produce protected discs.

CD-Cops is a shell protection which is added to the software's main executable. This is the only change necessary. Your usual production procedure remains the same. The protection measures minute differences to establish the CD-ROM’s fingerprint, which ensures that copies are rejected.

CD-Cops was invented and released in 1996 and immediately got a lot of interest from newspapers and radio/television. Well-known companies such as Egmont, DeAgostini and Oxford University Press began using it. CD-Cops was selected for distribution by the leading Chinese security distributor Goldensoft after an extensive test conducted by China's national testlab.

The original principles behind CD-Cops have stood the test of time, while most other protection technologies have failed long ago. It is still one of our most sold products.
