Create an exact duplicate of a CD from the command line

Does anyone know how to create an image that the system recognizes as an actual CD for use in situation where you need the CD in the drive a a key for the app?

An attempt to do so will likely be hindered by copy protection measures on the CD used as the key -- else, why would the software vendor require the CD as a key?

I don't know much about CD copy protection measures, but I have seen claims on the Internet that many CDs with copy protection use intentional errors of some kind, errors which will hinder a copy program's attempt to make an image of the CD, yet somehow not prevent the CD from functioning properly for its *intended* use.
