I'm not sure how that would work, either, unless they found a way to write data on the original CD so that the burner's laser (somehow) inadvertently overexposes the disk in trying to reproduce it, causing the dye to break down at a much more rapid pace.
I don't understand HOW it could actually be implemented but I can see a logical possibility. After all a burner operates by super-exposing a CD-R's dye layer; the exposed portions become the dark spots (I think), the same as the "pits" in a manufactured CD.
Only problem is that if such a technology exists, it would almost certainly be vulternable to some sort of software cracking -- for example, rip an ISO from the source CD to your hard disk, use a "utility" to scan it and remove the harmful data, then burn the revised ISO to a CD-R.
