Copy-protected CDs are a joke

So, I buy a CD online. It arrives, and has some sort of copy protection. Fair enough. But the big problem is that the small-print states that the CD may not play in car CD players because of this technology... I try it out in my car. It won't play. This is the original disc I paid good money for. I want to listen to it in the car. I feel I have the right to listen to the original CD I purchased. Do they sell a car-specific version? Do I have to make a COPY of the disc to allow me to listen to it in the car? Ah, this is just ridiculous.
