Well, I guess by the way the copy protection must be implemented on these
CDs, they are no longer really red-book compliant. As such, putting the
"Compact Disc - Digital Audio" is probably like lying to the customers - if
something has been changed on the CD so that it cannot simply be copied, I
guess the red book standard must have been violated. And although I don't
currently have any information about copy protected audio CDs (I should
also read about that topic), I wouldn't be amazed if at least some people
have problems playing these discs in their "normal" CD players...

Greetings
Nils
