This is rather misleading. Standard CDs as sold had (and have) no DRM.

The scheme you link to is intended to prevent further copies of CD-Rs but you can copy a CD you bought as often as you like.

Unless the CD comes with a root kit that interferes with that copying. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sony_BMG_copy_protection_rootk...
