I have an audio CD player with SPDIF out (it was not very expensive). Do you 
think I get error corrected data out of that? (I mean the error correction 
the Macrovision technology relies on to allow people to listen to their CDs 
on audio CD players.)

If yes, I could just plug the audio CD player to the SPDIF in of my 
soundcard, and copy the CD at single speed without having to worry about this 
stupid copy "protection". 

*Send me all your Macrovision enhanced CDs and I'll copy them for you* :-)

No, this is too much work for me, but I think some hundred thousand people in 
the world have this combination of hardware, so it's not too much work for 
each of them. They will put those CDs on filesharing systems and a lot of 
people who would normally buy a CD and encode it to Ogg to use it on their PC 
and portable Ogg player will get their music from filesharing systems 
_instead_ of buying a CD, because why should they buy a CD if they can't rip 
it?
