I think the general idea with these protected CDs is that if you attempt to play them in a standalone CD player then you have a good chance that it will play them fine - it all depends on how picky it is about seeing what is strictly speaking not a Red Book CD, and how it reacts to the deliberate errors. If you're unlucky in your choice of CD player then you may hear pops or dropouts rather than normal lossy effects. The thinking is that the number of standard CD players that will have a problem is small enough for them not to worry about. Cd-ROMs and in-car CDs are another matter...
