Well your choice would be not to purchase those particular CDs then. But if MS and the RIAA team up and only release them in that format, then only Longhorn systems (or ones with a similar client) would be able to play the CDs. Seems unlikely the RIAA would be able to get away with that, and if they did, probably loose more money in the process.
