I believe the other poster was thinking of some other copy prevention schemes pushed by the major record companies which use non-compliant discs. The owner of the CD mark even threatened to take away their right to use it. This scheme uses a Windows misfeature and a rootkit to do its work. There's no reason for it not to be a real CD.
