There is no copy protection system for audio CDs.
There is, unfortunately. An example is "Cactus Data Shield". The bad
thing is that it even breaks the standard, resulting in the copy
protected audio CD not playing back in some players (PC CD-ROMs for
example or CD players with MP3 support).
Such CDs are actually required to refrain from using the "CDDA" logo on
their casing. Some even mention that they are copy protected.
See:

for more info.
In any case, it's very difficult or even impossible to copy some of them
with regular CD-ROM drives. Some require analog copying or using the
digital-out connector of the drive.
