Hello!
No need for any software tricks to copy them!
The data for the Copy Protection System is on a separate part of the disc to allow them to be played in ordinary stand alone CD and DVD players. This area is located at the outermost parts of the CD. You find this area by holding up your Copy Protected CD against a strong light source and look carefully at the CD. A Few millimeters or about 0.7-1.5CM(0.3-0.7 Inches) seen from the outer edge of the CD you will find a disticnt line that separate the 2 data fields on the CD. Use a Pen marker the ones that you uses on a white board(so that it comes of after the ripping is over) and draw a black line in a zig zag pattern around the entire circle but be carefull not to make it reach over the edge to the audio area. Then wait a bit so it dryes a little then just RIPP it and it will work just fine as standard Audio CD. This is because you have just made the data part of the CD unreadable and corrupted and the drive will then attempt to read the other information on the disc and the result will be that it will interpret it as beeing a standard Audio CD and allow you to just copy it. Some people might be affraid of drawing on their CD's and I have heard of people having success with the strips of Post It Notes aswell that they have taped around the entire edge of the CD but once again if you choose this method then you also have to be carefull so that you do not let the sticky strips to reach the Audio part of the CD they should never cross that line.
This method have worked all the times for me!
I wrote about this Copy Kill hack as I call it about 18 months ago on the Apple discussions area of Apple support(it was written during the weekends then removed by the mods since hacking procedures is not allowde there). Then a few days later I saw the exakt same procedure described in a online German Computer magazine that they obviously took from my post and tryed for them selves and it worked for them to, and they never gave me credit for it(Go figure,Who are commiting Copyright violations we ore the media)
