Beastie Boys CD Silently installs copy protection.

The Beastie Boys have finally released a new album. This CD, unlike their previous releases, installs copy-protection software on Windows and Mac PCs. It’s bad enough copy-protecting the CD, however the record label EMI is being particularly egregious because they install the software without telling the user. You know, sort of like a virus.
