Copy Protection Discuss, Turbotax 2004 protection at International Chat: Software related forum; Someone told me that Turbotax 2004 had something called track 0 protection and that if you tried to make a copy of it it would ruined the CD (supposedly it actually says that). Anyone know if this is accurate? I'm just curious. TIA

Re: Turbotax 2004 protection

Never heard of this kind of protection. Did you scan it using aray or PID, any results?

Re: Turbotax 2004 protection

This probably would indicate a protection that did some fiddling with the TOC. If this is true, then it shouldn't be a problem to backup. Also, in what way would 'ruin' mean?
