Well I dont think Sony puts different locks on their DVDs, but they may mix it up by region, who knows =o) But I usually rip the DVD to my hard drive with DVD Shrink. AnyDVD runs in the background, so no need to do anything with it. After DVDShrink goes through I take the ISO and burn it with DVDDecrypter. There were a few times when AnyDVd wasnt as up to date to catch all the errors. In that case use VOBBlanker. That will rip the DVD to your hard drive and clean up the VOB files of any protections. Then after that you shrink it with DVDShrink, and then burn it with your favorite ISO burning program. I keep all these tools available because you never know what Sony will throw at us next.
