Well from what I've gathered, the new Sony CDs aren't even "Audio CDs" because they don't conform to the Redbook standard. They're somehow close enough that they'll still play in CD players though.

According to the various online sounces that have said anything about it though, the only platform that the protection works against is Windows. Have you tried ripping it on a Mac or Linux box?
