When the game started it attempted a read on one of those tracks and, if it could (even if it was just empty) it would refuse to run the game. The principle was, even with a perfect copy of the disks, those tracks would just be empty space on the copy.
Anyone techy enough to know if that would be feasible and how hard it would be for a pirate to copy if it was?

There are (or has been) similar protection methods on PC games also. I have no idea how hard it is to brake a protection of that kind, but it seems that there's always a way.
