We've had this sort of copy protection on a lot of new release cds, here in New Zealand, for a few months now. Which has meant I have dramatically cut down my CD purchasing - I can't play them properly in my 7 year old Micromega Stage 1 CD player. The first few seconds of every track has about a 1 second dropout, which gets really annoying.
