Well I for one have changed my mind. The argument for using the
record companies' name and trying to put bad connotations on it is
very compelling. Perhaps in print the term "copy protection" should
always be in quotation marks. In speech, perhaps we can say "so-called
copy protection", or use some gesture to indicate the falsehood of
the term.

As for a true description, perhaps "adulterated CD" - it has
the implication of some deliberate act that's missing from
"corrupted", and avoids saying anything about the intentions
of the record companies.
