There will ALWAYS be a way of copying the audio. After all, if you wanted to push it 
to the extreme, you could always play the CD in a half-decent CD player, plug the 
digital out (or analogue out if they've protected digital signals) into another device 
or a computer then just record. No way they can stop that ... schemes like the 
Anti-VCR stuff on DVDs won't fix that for instance because there is no intelligence in 
the recorder that can be 'fooled' that can't be 'turned off'.
