The large record labels appear to put some kind of copy protection or something on the discs to where they can no longer claim to be a "compact disc" as that is a trademark or something, if they don't follow the "red book" then they can't use the trademarks.
Google for "Sony rootkit fiasco". Basically, Phillips (cocreator of the CD... with SONY!?!) hit them with a suit for trademark infringement.
