    It started with a Tori Amos lyric about someone burning CDs. I couldn’t imagine why you’d destroy valuable property lol. The term was used originally in industry and later adopted for home use.

        In 1993, computers were just starting to get CD-ROM drives and CD-Rs were pretty exotic technology. Being able to burn CD’s really didn’t really go mainstream until the very late 90’s.

          The Sega MegaCD didn’t have any copy protection because people couldn’t burn their own CDs yet.
