Well, so I did: $ cdparanoia --verbose --batch "1-" It has ripped, reporting no errors, And the clicks still seem to be there! Of course there's that chance that the clicks are actually a bad recording, not copy protection. But it's not so likely; the recording is not old (1997) and clains to use cool "20-bit recording" technology. Actually I did think at first that the "20-bit" are at fault; but the HDCD logo is not present, so apparently this is just a mastrering technique, and the disk is supposed to be an ordinary CD? Anyway, are there other tools to try and read it with error correction, or perhaps cdparanoia options that I could have overlooked?
