If the interior of the jewel case has the 'Compact Disc Digital Audio' logo moulded into the plastic and the CD is copy-protected, they're in trouble.

Oh, they were. Believe me, they were. Mark Russinovich's blog is at:
http://blogs.technet.com/markrussino...e-too-far.aspx
- and there are several entries from people in the UK. Apparently Sony have stopped producing the XCP discs...just as well, or they'd have gone tits-up before too long. 
What worries me now is that apparently Mark Russinovich has gone to work for Microsoft.  I can't help but draw parallels between this and Anakin Skywalker...I'm going to have to go and read his latest blog. Then again, it might be a change for the better in that Microsoft will now have someone working for them who knows what he's doing.
