Amazon labeling CDs as "Copy Protected"?

This is the first time I've ever seen a CD on Amazon listed as [COPY PROTECTED CD] (they're usually listed as ENHANCED or something else). It's the upcoming CD of Amici Forever, Defined.

This is likely due to Amazon customers complaining about CDs not working in their devices after purchase (we're doing some research on this).

Actually, it looks like all of the new releases from RCA labels are labeled as such on Amazon.
