But my dude... Diskettes had Copy Protection! /s
Yeah! The little plastic slider you moved up and down.
On commerical disks those are fixed on the frame (but can be flexed/cut away of course)
...and they only protect the data on the disk from being changed, you can still copy it. Otherwise the disk would be unreadable.
