Copy Discovery description
a Copyprotection Scanner, which supports over 60 copyprtoections, packers and crypters
Copy-Discovery 2000 is a copy protection scanner. It will scan discs, files or entire folders in order to detect the copy protection.
It supports all common and many uncommon copy protections.
The interface is easy to use and available in 8 languages. Czech, Danish, English, French,
German, Italian, Polish and Spanish.
Copy-Discovery 2000 is divided in three main parts.
The CD/DVD Scan, used to discover the disc protection.
The Directory Scan, scans softwaredirectories and the File Scan, analyses single files.
The program is extensible with plugins.
Many Special-Scans helps the user to find the protection in different ways. For example the TOC-Scan shows you some information about the TOC of a CD/DVD. The damaged Sctor Scan finds out, if the protection has damaged sectors and where.
When you use the Systemcontrol you have to start the application/game with the unknown protection and the Systemcontrol shows you the protection immediately.
The two improtant Special-Scans are the File- and the Directory-Scan. You use the File-Scan to scan a file and the Directory-Scan to scan a whole directory for protections.

As has already been said... bogus.
Personally, my response would have been to gasp and throw a hand over my mouth with a horrified look on my face and then say, "Who would pirate DVDs?" I hate idiots like that.
