I recently bought the Live NIN CD and was disappointed to find that it
might be copy protected as well. It's not on the list of copy protected
CDs and it bears no warning, but it also doesn't have the "Compact Disc
Digital Audio" logo anywhere on it. On top of all that, ripping
applications have been weird when pulling audio off of it. cdparanoia
managed to start getting the tracks this morning, but it was going very
slow with lots of errors being noted. I'll be interested in hearing if
it works or not...
