You state "even the independent musicians want copy-protected technologies in their CDs." But the link you post (www.theregister.co.uk/content/archive/24947.html<nobr>)<wbr></nobr> doesn't say that. It says that a trade groupB representing some independent labels in England favors such a scheme. That's a long way from saying independent musicians, generally, want copy-protection.
CD distribution and sales is different in Britain: you have a nationalized broadcast system and very powerful music magazines, and it's a smaller place.
At any rate, most independent musicians I know would never want their CDs to be unplayable in computers and some cars.
