You live in which country? So why do you care about archaic law in
foreign countries? The DMCA doesn't apply (yet) to the E.U. It might
be illegal in the UK to drive on the motorway on the right side. This
doesn't stop me from doing so over here in Germany.

Copying a CD for private use is perfectly legal here in Germany.
Copy protecting a CD is also perfectly legal over here in Germany.
