Warning: This Coldplay CD may not work...

... and there's nothing you can do about it. This link'll take you to a picture of the insert new Coldplay. Worthy of note is that...

"This CD cannot be burnt onto a CD-R or hard disk, nor can it be converted into MP3 for file sharing."

It goes on to list a whole lot of ways that the CD might not work like in car stereos, portable CD players, DVD players, game players and basically anything other than a traditional CD player which is where I listen to about... uh... 10% of my music. And then there's this...

"Except for manufacturing problems, we do not accept product exchange, return or refund."

Fair enough. Oh, did I mention that the insert is inside the CD so you won't know any of this until after you've bought and opened it...

But wait. Don't despair Coldplay fans. It's all for you.

"In order for you to enjoy high quality music, we have added this special technology."

Nice touch. Very fan-friendly, Chris... Thanks!

The punchline for all this effort to keep you from actually listening to their music? If you do this, none of it works...
