A record carrier, and method for manufacturing such record carrier, which can be copies with the aid of a copying apparatus, while the copied record carrier is unreadable. During copying with the aid of the copying apparatus, merge bits are selected such that consecutive channel bits or a first type, the type '1', are separated by at least Ia and at most Ib consecutive and continuous bits of the second type, the type '0', and vice versa. The original record carrier, at least over a number of neighboring blocks of channel bits, is provided with specific blocks of merge bits, while consecutive channel bits of one type are separated by Ic or Id consecutive bits of the other type, with Ic&#x3c;Ia and Id&#x3e;Ib.
