So have the US courts.

Since many of the companies invoking copy protection are the companies marketing Mp3 players, MD players, blank CDs and Cassettes, and many even include software and advertisements for ripping music from CDs, I'd say that it IS expected that it's more than just a disc that crashes computers and some CD players...
As well they should market those things. There are alot of people with CD collections that are unprotected, if they are going to be ripping songs off these CDs then the companies are entitled to recoup any lost revenue by selling the software that people use to copy them.

I'm not aware or concerned with the US courts or a particular company's view, only that when you pay money for an album on CD, you can expect to be able to play that album on a CD player and thats it.
