	If I were them, I would just have MarauderII look for a certain
signature on the disk that would mark it as one of their own disks.  If it
found it, instead of saying it won't copy it, it should pretend that it
can't and maybe have the disk drive grind a bit, witty error messages, etc
for a colorful coverup.  (I'm not saying this is what it does.  I don't even
have the program.)
