Scanning this thread for the first time today, I was struck that nobody posted the obvious (which should be said, even if everybody knows it):
EAC supports ripping to the WMA Lossless format. The generated files are not copy protected. The difference between using EAC and WMP for ripping is that you can control the accuracy of the rip with EAC. I use EAC to rip WMA Lossless files. I like the integration with WMP, and I figure I can always transcode to FLAC if Microsoft sneaks DRM in through the back door at some time in the future (which I doubt). For those of you interested in doing this, I will add that in my setup there is a bug somewhere in the ripping chain that leads to the track numbers not getting filled in (I am told the datatype written is inaccurate). I correct this with MP3TAG, but I find that MP3TAG needs to write the track number TWICE for the update to stick.
