I believe that the Philips, who holds the trademark for compact disks, has said that copy protected disks do not follow the standard and may not use the trademark.
If so, couldn't the labels selling be charged with deceptive advertising?
Only if the round pieces of plastic in decorative jewel box cases are labelled "CD-ROM" and/or use the "CD" logo. I've heard that some of the recent sellers of user-preventing round plastic have responded, correctly, to Philips's announcements about the issue by no longer labelling them as CDs. At that point, the implied assertion that the round plastic container for intellectual property packaging is a "CD" is no more deceptive than the implied assertion that it contains "music".
