There will be no CD protection on v2 on the CD Craig. I have no problems with people ripping the CD if for personal consumption only.
Piracy is a big problem, and has massive implications on projects which have a small audience. It effects big companies, but kills small projects like v2 or any other c64 CD.
Pay-Per-View system
From my own CD projects, I understand the issue of piracy vs purchase, and obviously won't spread any tracks from R64 2. Glad to hear there's no protection on the CD, though. I've no desire to cart my iBook to the repairs centre to retrieve a non-standard CD from the tray, or even just not be able to copy the tracks to my h/d for listening while I work! Good news...
