      I don't think so, but does ICopyHook work for you?

        If you want illegally mess up the user system yes. Remember what the US court say to Sony because of their rootkit: It is your software, but that's not your computer. Intercepting a call inside an application for the use of that application is not an issue. Intercepting a call to globally modify the system behavior disabling system functionality the user payed (copy a CD is part of the OS functionality that have its license as well) it not legal nor moral. If you want to prevent your software to be used illegally, use hardware dongul, license numbers, internet registration ... but don't alter the user's system behavior. It does not belong to you.

        2 bugs found. > recompile ... 65534 bugs found. :doh:
