Burning a CD-R that has copy-right [burn] protection?

[jm78]

I have a live concert CD-R that was burned with copy-right protection. How is that possible? My CD-Rom drive will only read it as 1 track that is 5:12 long. My stand-alone CD player will read it as a full-length 9 track CD. The CD-R was created by the guy who taped the concert on DAT tape, then he convereted down. He won't answer emails about how to copy it.

Is there a way to rip a copy-righted live CD-R?

Thanks, John

Is this an audio CD?...you really didn't specify.

If the felt-tip pen trick doesn't work then I would plug a CD player into the line-in on soundcard and record using CDex(www.cdex.n3.net),Nero Wave Editor or Windows Movie Maker(narration saves to .wav).

I've read that the felt pen trick will compromise all copy-right protection methods currently being used on Audio CDs.

Yeah, sorry, it's an audio cd-r. Some guy DAT taped a show, then only traded out 5 copies which he burned with this type of copy protection.

If I can't copy it digitally, then I will go the analog route, which really won't be much different. I'd still like to get a digital copy of the original however.

I've been checking out the cdrinfo.com forums, which describe several methods on how to burn with some type of copy protection, and there seems to be a few programs that might do it.

Thanks for the help.
