I saw a software, "silicon office", with a copy protection using a specific piece of code loaded in the 8050/8250 to read a specific track I dont remember exactly but they changed something in the format of this special track so if it was not read with their specific routine it failed or if the special track was altered by a standard copy the code was quite short and put in place with memory write / memory read / memory execute I guess this system was used by several companies...
