or buy it and return it as faulty - not sure where you live, but in
the uk if you are sold a CD it should work as such (like in a car or
computer).
Returning it should show the retailer that these are not worth it.

Simple fix: don't buy any music without a CDDA logo clearly stamped on
the case/disc/inlay. If there's an album which is unclear, or you won't
buy because it's protected, mail the record label, any offical band
websites not run directly by the label, and tell your normal music
outlet "I refuse to buy this not-CD, please start stocking CDs again
instead of round plastic garbage"
The CDDA logo is your only proof that a disc is safe - many labels now
put out protected discs with no warning on whatsoever.

For the most part, Linux simply sees through the copy protection on most
hardware. You _CAN_ rip most protected discs. The question, rather, is
should you? Do you want to be a sales statictic that copy protected
discs are okay, for when a new scheme is released later that you're NOT
so lucky with? I'd rather take the "no thanks" option to the "suck it
and see" option
