(but likely just this time only.)
The french consumer protection agency DGCCRF has sued EMI France
and the music shop Fnac because their music CDs weren't CDs anymore
(because of anti-copying measures that break the Red Book standard).
The French legal system guarantees the right of private copies, and
EMI and Fnac broke not just that but also mislead their customers about
the (lack of) quality of their product.
If the government wins that suit, then EMI and Fnac would have to call
back the CDs and pay E 187k. Nice.
