 CD key - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
There are harsh penalties of misusing CD keys, such as not being given access to the game but users may also lose access to their other legal games as a direct result (some 20,000 people found this out the hard way [1]).
Most CD keys are not effective in stopping software piracy due to the rise of the internet, as CD keys can be distributed in seconds via CD key generators, and software publishers are increasingly turning to new methods of authenticating software, such as via internet authenticating systems.
The term CD key very likely comes from the fact that the key is usually on the case or the CD.

 Compact disc - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Most CD manufacturers, dependent on the exact pit geometry such as the slope of the pit edges etc, choose a pit depth of around 90-100 nm, (which is around λ/6n) yielding a sound trade-off between the quality of the push-pull radial tracking and full aperture detection signal.
The design of the CD was originally conceived as an evolution of the gramophone record, rather than primarily as a data storage medium.
A user-recordable CD for data storage, CD-R, was introduced in the early 1990s, and it became the de facto standard for exchange and archiving of computer data and music.

The exact sampling rate of 44.1 kHz is inherited from a method of converting digital audio into an analog video signal for storage on video tape, which was the most affordable way to store it at the time the CD specification was being developed.

 Sega CD - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Sega CD had the Lunar series, which, despite the relatively narrow circulation the two titles on the Sega CD received, went on to be critically acclaimed and became a cult classic, with both games remade for the PlayStation in the late nineties and the Nintendo DS in 2005.
Sega wanted to showcase the power of the Sega CD, and so focused on the "FMV" games rather than importing "extended" games that only expanded ordinary games by taking advantage of the extra storage space of the CD media.
In the United States, the Sega CD was considered a failure due to its high price, low sales, few hardware upgrades, and general confusion with the Sega 32X, another Genesis peripheral offered.

 CD-RW - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Also, since the CD-MO was otherwise physically identical to "normal" CDs, it still adopted a spiral-groove recording scheme, which rendered it hard to use as a normal floppy or as a medium for repeated, small scale deletions and recordings.
CD-MO Prior to the introduction of the CD-RW technology, a standard for magneto-optical recordable and erasable CDs called CD-MO was introduced in 1988 and set in the Orange Book, part 1, and was basically a CD with a magneto-optical recording layer.
These combined factors rendered the disks unreadable on standard CD drives or on other similar devices, or even on the same device without the specific backup software.

 Disk image - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A common use of disk images is for remote distribution of software such as Linux distributions: installation floppy disks or CD-ROMs can be recorded as disk image files, transferred over the Internet, and the contents of the original disk(s) duplicated exactly by end users with their own floppy or CD-R drives.
Images of CD-ROMs most often carry the file name extension.iso, referring to the ISO 9660 file system commonly used on such discs.
Disk images are also routinely used in connection with software piracy, creating an image of a software package and subsequently distributing it.

 CD-ROM - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
CD capacities are always given in binary units, although decimal SI prefixes are usually used: A "700 MB" CD has a nominal capacity of about 700 MiB.
Manufacturers of CD writers (CD-R or CD-RW) are encouraged by the music industry to ensure that every drive they produce has a unique identifier, which will be encoded by the drive on every disc that it records: the RID or Recorder Identification Code.
Future speed increases based simply upon spinning the disc faster are particularly limited by the strength of polycarbonate plastic used in CD manufacturing, though improvements can still be obtained by the use of multiple laser pickups as demonstrated by the Kenwood TrueX 72x which uses seven laser beams and a rotation speed of approximately 10x.

 How Things Work - Compact Disc Players
A CD player reads ahead of the sound it is playing so that it always has sound information from at least one full turn of the disc in its memory.
In principle, the whole CD player should be pretty resistant to dust problems because the laser beams are large except when they focus on the CD itself.
The player carefully adjusts the laser beam to follow the ridges as the disc turns and it measures how long each ridge is. The music is digitally encoded in the ridge lengths so that by measuring those lengths, the player obtains the information it needs to reproduce the music.

 Enhanced CD - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Enhanced CD is a certification mark of the Recording Industry Association of America for various technologies that combine audio and computer data for use in both compact disc and CD-ROM players.
These CDs have the data 11400 sectors (2m32s) after the audio, but some CD rippers may try to rip this blank section with the last track; the end result is that the ripper stalls during the last track, or simply errors out.
Sometimes computer CD ripping programs (especially cdparanoia) have problems ripping some enhanced CDs, especially those which have the data after the audio section.

 =SSMB= -> Sonic CD.
Sonic CD bored me because it had a more clunkier feel to it, and that it was basically a rehash of Sonic the Hedgehog.
Back to your question, sonic 2 and sonic CD happened to be made near about the same time; unfortunately (as far as I'm aware) dates for the initial project start time have not yet been recorded.
So if you look at it, basically Sonic CD's levels were updates of older levels, except no Marble zone (yay)...
