I don't know if this is easy but could you make the method/source available for sending these commands. So other programmers can try/experiment themselves (on other drives etc).

There is no secret about that, you even don't need to be a programmer to do that. First, you should read the
MultiMedia Command Set - 6 (MMC-6) to know how to build a CDB for the READ DISC STRUCTURE command. Then you can use DVDInfoPro to construct custom commands and send them to the drive. Works quite good, but this program cannot handle more than 4 KB of returned data. I'm not familiar with the windows API and how to access the HD-Drive, so i looked around and found CDToImg 1.01 posted at the CDFreaks forum. I modified the source and the result is a quick hack that writes the BCA and Copyright Data Section to file, i've attached this proggy with source if someone wants to play around with it.

Which drive did you use btw?
Also: have you also tried this on a re-writable?

This method does only work with HD-DVD, Blu-Ray stores the VolumeID somewhere else. I've done it with my XBox 360 HD-Drive, haven't seen any HD writables yet.
