It would be quite dangerous to make this work.
What about creating a file say with a fake data map, wine thinks it's
the direct access to the hard drive where all this information is
held. all we do is add the place where the data starts and the data
thats stored. it would be slower but it would get around the dangers
while keeping the interface the same.
The easiest way round this is to simply recognise the executable with
the copy protection, and simply install a hook to catch the appropriate
file system or registry calls and divert them to a special handling
routine to satisfy the application. The difficulty would come from
actually implementing the "copy protection" part. I.e. Preventing the
wine user from copying the software.
