False.
I have 10--20 discs with cactus data protection. Two with sony bmg
rootkit protection system. And several with mediamax protection. At
least the cactus shit is annoying. They corrupted the audio on
purpose and it's audible even with a legal authentic cd audio
player. If you place these discs in a standard PC cd/dvd drive, it
just spins and spins and spins and spins and the OS either hangs or
refuses to open the cd tray. I'm 100% sure you are not allowed to
break these.
The vast majority of CDs don't have that. I have approx 250
commercial audio CDs, and not a single one of them has any DRM. And
if I did want something that only came on a DRMed CD, I'd just say
"Fuck you Sony" and pirate it.
I'd buy the disk, put it on the shelf and let it collect dust with
the rest and download the tracks I really care about.
That's what I've mostly been doing lately (Except I rip the disc.
Everything online is MP3 - meh).
That's what I do, assuming I can read the disk.
