Is it possible to copy protected CDs with CDBurn?

Definitely not. There are now myriads of different protection schemes for both Data CDs and Audio CDs – without a massive amount of manpower and money it is impossible to analyse all those schemes to develop methods to copy them. The situation is made worse by the fact that the capabilities and features of CD-ROMs and CD writers that might enable you to do a 1:1 copy differ widely, so a lot of system-dependant solutions would need to be developed, multiplying the needed manpower and money. If you happen to have a PC, use products like DiscJuggler or CloneCD to try to backup your copy protected CDs. However, it is usually a much better idea to just avoid buying such CDs – copy-protected Audio CDs usually violate the Red Book standard, which means they are not really Audio CDs and are not allowed to carry the Compact Disc Digital Audio logo – bringing them back to the store where you have bought them sends the right signals to those in the Content Industry who think that it is OK to jump
