I can tell you that after the 100th disk and not sleeping almost 2 days.. I wanted to say I did but didnt if you know what I mean but thought I was supposed to make some money off it.. But his check bounced so no updates and released V3 to PD which was basically just a souped up file copier..
To copy it, you have to make sure the sync length is as per original.. There is no other protection..
