Do Copy-protected CD's Really Stop Casual Pirates?

Yahoo: Here's a good refresher with respect to "Secure CD's", which generally restrict users to only 3 copies of discs that they legitimately buy..."The copy protections are not iron-clad, however: You can make three copies of the CD on each PC on which you load it. You can also make three additional copies of the CD from the tracks that you have ripped to your Windows Media Player library. Once you have burned CDs using Windows Media Player, the tracks cease to be protected, and you can upload this audio CD into another media player, such as ITunes. And once the tracks are uploaded, you can burn them as often as you like." Sounds like the emperor's not wearing any clothes to me...
