If you use a unit like the Meridian 518 or digital lens in the
recording chain (or any unit that strips superfluous code ) you can
defeat the SCMS.
There is a problem however , they also strip time code thus one has to
copy a CD track by track.

Once you have a non SCMS master , you can make a zillion copies of it
(as you can do with the original CD)

Im sure there are cheap anti-jitter units or digital processors that
do the same (look at pro audio , there might be products there that
strip SCMS at a reasonable price)
