Just found this tid bit of news regarding firmware updates and copy protection......Looks like they are doing it.
***********************************************
CDRSOFT.NET published a very interesting piece on how the latest Plextor PX-W124TS & PX-W1210A firmware upgrades are "not able" to backup SafeDisc v2 protected CD's but that older firmware versions can!
They suspect that Plextor has made a deal with Macrovision not to support SafeDisc v2.
Just by downgrading the firmware to version 1.04 "solves" this problem and SafeDisc v2 protected CD's can easily be copied using CloneCD:
Plextor PX-W1210A v1.04 Firmware
Plextor PX-W124TS v1.04 Firmware
