I believe these copy-protection schemes work by introducing a lot of
errors on the CD. Audio CD players skip them but computers treat the CD
as faulty.
If this were in Britain I would take the CD back to the shop as unfit
for the purpose for which it was sold and/or complain to Trading
Standards. I should have thought that you could do something similar in
Germany, since the quality of the CD has been deliberately downgraded.
