How Come The Game Doesnt Work Doesnt Work?, sorry if its the wrong forum but read before moving Options

First off, sorry if this the wrong forum, read my question though before moving please because I think this might apply to this forum. How come if you copy everything exactly about the xbox 360(or original) game it doesnt play? I know there is protection but if everything is copied exactly why doesnt it work? I am guessing that if you are reading this then you are thinking I am retarded, and if I was in your position I would be thinking the same thing(if you are not wondering the same thing). I know someone really smart about this stuff will get into detail about it but is there one simple answer besides "it just doesnt"?

Simply put, DVD drives of all kinds can "tell the difference" between pressed DVD and the various recordable formats. There's extra info on the disk to say what type of recordable disk it is, and consoles are configured not to run anything that is not factory-pressed. That's what a modchip does, in essence. Well, it's certainly a large part of the role of a modchip. To disable the "media check". There's also the fact that you can't read an X-Box 1 disk in a PC, and you are unlikely to be able to read the new X360 disks in your PC, although I will admit to not having verified this information.
