If you wait long enough, the copy will proceed at normal speed. This is because of the bad sectors in the safedisc 2 protection. Either you just wait and let it copy (can take up to an hour), or you use the following Daemon Tools trick :

FastDump is a feature of Daemon Tools/FantomCD/Alcohol 120% that allows you to quickly dump SafeDisc protected cd.

Quick mini-howto:
Insert the protected cd into the drive.
Enable Bad Sectors Emulation/SafeDisc Emulation in Daemon Tools/FantomCD/Alcohol 120%.
Run the installed game.
Quit the game and don't remove the cd.
Read the cd with Your favourite cd-cloning software like Alcohol 120%/FantomCD/CloneCD/BlindWrite Suite etc. bad sectors reading will be skipped and the digital signature will be generated automatically.
Disable Bad Sectors Emulation/SafeDisc Emulation.

Note that you only have to install Daemon Tools and follow the instructions of the trick, this works great.
