The really simple workaround is to just use Linux or Mac OS (I don't think it works on either of those). I don't think SunComm is really trying to deter the people who really want to get around their protection, not for sympathetic reasons but because they still have to make the CD in such a way that it is compatible with all home/car stereos and still adhering to the CD standard set by Philips. I'm sure they're working on ways to make it ever more difficult.

I have yet to have any copy protection work on my PC - of course, I have autoplay disabled :) See, I just threw it in iTunes, clicked “Import”, and it worked.
