Unlike most other protection methods removed by AnyDVD, CDS-300 can be only found on audio CDs and the copy protection mechanism itself is similar to the notorious XCP "root kit" copy protection from Sony. AnyDVD now removes CDS-300 from audio CDs and also prevents it (and similar copy protection mechanisms) from installing to the computer where AnyDVD is installed.
"Most customers don't even know, that AnyDVD not
just deals with movie DVDs, it also removes basically all copy restrictions of audio CDs. Furthermore, it protects your operating system from the installation of unwanted drivers like the Sony 'Root Kit' or Settec Alpha-DVD. Therefore we recommend our customers to activate AnyDVD at all times." SlySoft's CEO, Giancarlo Bettini, told in the company's press release.
