The worst thing happened on my laptop. DRM.

Hello, I'm the SAMSUNG RV508 laptop "owner". But there is one problem. DRM is supported. My laptop can read CD-ROM but cannot copy it. I will run my GNU/Linux from Scratch distro very soon and will accept donations. If I will receive enough money for 2 laptops — maybe I will stream DESTROYING and TRASHING my laptop. Or killing it with fire. Because it must die. Permanently.
**** you Samsung and **** you Intel.
And if my friends reading this message: destroying the Internet is better.
I will purchase more freedom-friendly computer for streaming. I'm not leaving the Internet for now.
Please send me the video when done
All live stream records and videos will be available on this distro website.

Are you trying to copy from CD-ROM on Windows or GNU/Linux? Generally, this kinda stuff is software-based, not hardware-based, so I'm more inclined to tihnk it's the former. If you're using GNU/Linux, maybe try a different method? Let's not jump the gun and say it's hardware DRM before we're sure.

Good luck with that.

What you're describing is nonsense and I think it's obvious that you're trolling. It's not possible for a CD drive to prevent the OS from saving a copy of the data that the CD drive is sending to it. The only way for DRM to work is for particular proprietary programs which are a part of a conspiracy to be required to read the data. This is possible for "corrupt discs": optical discs which are not compatible with the CD standard and require proprietary software to read. But the actual CD standard (which almost everyone uses) does not support DRM. Ergo, it's impossible to restrict what can be done with a CD in this way.
DVDs are a different story, but the encryption on DVDs is so pathetic that you can break it by brute-forcing anyway (see: libdvdcss).

Cat /dev/sr0 or /dev/cdrom returns IO error. Front-ends can only copy audio. It is mixed mode CD.
First optical disk drive firmwares do have DRM[1], this is probably not due to the laptop itself.
They for instance implement zone restrictions[2].
Then the I/O error can mean many things:
(1) The media is damaged or the drive has a hard time reading it.
(2) The disk has "damaged" zones on purpose, to prevent copying it.
(3) The firmware refuses to copy it somehow (DRM?).
The most common issue is (1), and various tools in GNU/Linux exist for dealing with it.
I had the most success with GNU ddrescue.

PS: If you want to get help to resolve technical issue, the best is to try to give relevant information and ask "if it is DRM" instead of deciding that it is, without any proof of it.
That said, DRM is evil and should not exist.
