In general commercial CDs *are* SCMS encoded, but the way SCMS works is
that you can make as many copies of the master as you like -- you can't
make copies of copies. The original poster didn't say, but if he was
trying to copy a CD that was itself a copy (say, a CD-R copy of a
commercial CD), then SCMS would get in the way of further copies.
