I tries to do this via the "Verbraucherzentrale" - they have not been
interested.
You first need to check whether you may sue someone at all if you are not
the "Verbraucherzentrale". What you may do is to forbid mixing these non-CDs
with standard compliant media in the same rack in a shop and you may force the
shops to add hints that "the rack to the left" does not include CDs.
