If CDs you purchase are done so under a license that they will
not be copied then they shouldn't be copied.  That's the deal.  If
you don't like it then don't buy it.

I hope the recording industry eventually comes up with a technology
whereby blank disks used for personal use (original content) could be
copied but those sold and licensed not for duplication couldn't be. 

But I absolutely see it as the right of the artist and record company
to sell their ware under whatever rules they wish.  I feel the 
same about programmers and cookbook authors.
