Photographs

My family recently splurged and paid for a top photographer in our area to take photographs of the family. The pictures turned out to be breathtaking and the money was well spent. We spent such a large amount of money that the company threw in the DVD of the session. I would love to copy DVD to send to other friends and relatives but I think that it is protected. How do I bypass the protection on the DVD so that I can make copies of the pictures. I do not want to replicate the pictures themselves, just the DVD.
