Abstract: A Copying Apparatus for copying a recoding medium, a method thereof and a computer program thereof is provided, wherein the recording medium is copy-protected by a predetermined method.

Abstract: A copy-protected optical recording medium, a method for driving thereof and a method for manufacturing thereof, wherein the optical recording medium includes at least one region whose address is designated to be said same with that of other region of the medium.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for generating a read error during standard DVD disc manufacturing. The method generates a read error in an error correction code (ECC) block including a specific error generation data pattern, when main data of 2,048 bytes is generated using the specific error generation data pattern according to a DVD standard. The error-pattern original data is inserted into the main data that is scrambling based on a DVD standard. The scrambled data is recorded in data sectors. The scrambled data including an error pattern which causes a read error is consecutively recorded in the data sectors included in the ECC blocks, in a process in which the data sectors are grouped based on 16 units to form the ECC blocks.

Abstract: A copy-protected optical recording medium and a method for manufacturing thereof is provided, wherein the medium has at least two auxiliary sections for confusing control of a copying machine.
