I can't remember what they call it instead, but if it's copy-protected the record label does not have the legal right to call it a CD.

Yes, though chances are it doesn't actually say it's a CD anywhere on the packagaing or on the disk - though given that these things tend to be displayed & sold together with genuine CDs you may have a case under SOGA - not sure if it's ever been tested in court.

Were any of these abominations sold in the UK? I was under the impression they weren't, though I can't be bothered to search for the info
Was it a grey import?
