The record companies use different ways to hide their DRM.
You can find some fine print samples here http://www.eff.org/IP/DRM/Sony-BMG/mediamaxpics.php and here http://www.eff.org/IP/DRM/Sony-BMG/guide.php
Fortunately, in more progressive countries, there are proposals to make them more obvious, like here http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/5041684.stm Read the discussion here http://politics.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=06/06/05/0433211&from=rss and avoid those companies.
If you can not live without their music, at least buy from iTunes and burn them to a CD, to remove the restrictions. It's cheaper anyhow.

most cd's now are protected. they do not require any special lable. any cd from the makers of simtown have very angry protection softwear. if you copy their cds it could ruin your comp.
generally music cds are safe to copy
if you cant copy cds from a certain mfg try attaching a blank word file to it that will generally allow you to copy it.

Try to put it in a PC...these cds always have their own media player to listen to the music...it's a auto-execute mini-program...
