  Xmms and xine won't.

 cdparanoia and cdrdao can rip most of these non-CDs, so you can burn
 working copy..

 Yep, just turn down, or off, the error checking (or paranoia level).
 Copy protected CDs are just CDs with errors intentionally put in. Ignore the 
 errors, get the music.

That is rarely necessary, I find that most copy-protected CDs can be
ripped with full error checking. Not that I have tried with that many, I
won't buy them.

As these so called 'copy protected CDs' can be ripped so easily, what
advantage have the labels gained over releasing a 'standard' audio CD?
