CD copy protection?

Hi All;

I have a question about the Copy Protection on some of the newer CD's ... ie. The new Beatles "Grey Album"

What does it prevent you from doing? ...

If it prevents you from buring back up copies or burning a greatest hits CD ... is there some kind of work around? It's not to do anything to infringe on the artist rights ... I don't use or endorse P2P ... I buy all my CDs ... In Canada this is actually legal anyway as we pay a levy (royalties) on blank media. I just want to make sure I can save it to my drive ... make a back up ... and add it to a greatest hits CD if I should wish.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the link Peaches - it's an interesting article regarding the ruling of the legality of P2P in Canada.
