Is copy-protecting CDs legal?
Probably. However, the protected disc is no longer a proper CD – if you look carefully at the packaging you will notice the lack of the normal “compact Disc digital audio” logo. Therefore if a music store has sold you this disc as a “CD” then they’re technically guilty of false advertising. The packet should have a clearly visible label telling you that the disc may not play in computer CD-ROM drives and certain other devices such as jog-proof CD Walkmans.
