I have yet to come across a protected cd that I could not copy. Not that I am in
the habit of copying cd's for illegal selling or giving away, but I have been
able to copy my CM8000 that I bought, which is what I do most of the time so I
use the copy, and have the original as the backup if something goes wrong.

I had no need to hack or crack anything, All this was done with software that
you can buy from stores.
