One of the commenters on "DRM Crippled CD: A bizarre tale in 4 parts" pointed out that any CD you can listen to -- regardless of DRM -- can be defeated quite easily:

HOW TO BEAT ANY AUDIO CD COPYRIGHT PROTECTION SOFTWARE

buy a discman - sony make goods ones (poetic justice dept!)
insert audio cd
link cd headfones/line out to the line in on pc soundcard
play audio cd
record each track one at a time
re-assemble audio cd and burn to disc

every copy made from that disc will be copyright protection software free, and there  is nothing anyone can do about this - if they did we wouldn't be able to listen to the audio cd's at all!

And, it is perfectly legal - you are allowed to make as many copies of a legally purchased product as you like so long as you can convince the judge that they are for personal use or are backup copies.
