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...
