I think I know the answer to this but will ask anyway-- can SCMS final discs
be copied onto another CD using a CD-R(W) drive? I'd be using something
like Adaptec Direct CD or Adaptec Easy CD Creator software that came with
the CD-RW drive (can't remember which one does a disk copy just now)
My guess is I get an exact copy of the disc and SCMS is irrelevant to the copy
action, but SCMS status is preserved in the copy so the new disc will have the
limitations of the original.
