<div style='font: 11pt Dominion; text-align: left; '>or maybe it was Saturn-- Sega's copyright protection was a film on the disk's that wore off after a few months of regular use meaning after that time you couldn't play the game anymore</div>

<div style='font: 11pt Dominion; text-align: left; '>oh no, it's definitely true-- they used a film on the disc as copyright protection that wears off with regular use. This just means that you any current users have to get pirated versions so they last</div>

<div style='font: 11pt Dominion; text-align: left; '>maybe it's not as easy to wear off as I was led to believe, but if you noticed PSX CD's can be scratched to hell and still work-- you get even light scratches on a Saturn and it's unplayable.</div>

I googled it. Everything I saw said that Saturn games have data on the outer rim of the disk, not part of the TOC, for copy protection. No film on the disc.</div>
