Perhaps an additional hardware device would help.  I am thinking of little
holes in the midia that could inexpensivly be read but would be difficult
to copy.  Each disk would have a serial number assigned by the disk maker
and punched as holes in the midia.  The software vendor would use the this
number as some kind of key when producing the disk.
