CD Protections Update 
Updated the CD Protection page.

Received an E-Mail from Bidouill, the creator of BlindRead, which stated that he was getting a lot of e-mail asking why BlindRead is not able to copy the Dummy Files on certain game CDs. For now BlindRead does NOT support copying these files but in the next release this will be (together with some very nifty features!). No release date has been set on this version.

So I know where to go next time it happens as we got all the information we need!
