Want a side order of french fries with that IRONY?
Apparently the kings of rip-offs, The Beastie Boys have installed a virus onto their new cd. When you put the cd into your cd-drive and it starts up, it puts a virus onto your computer that prevents you from "ripping" music off of cds onto your computer. This is a direct violation of your rights, because people are allowed to put music onto their computer, for their personal use and backup.
Working in a music store I have told many people this, and they have joined my ban of their cd.
Apparently Velvet Revolver and Probot (Dave Grohl's new band) have something similar to this. Their's is set up to prevent you from "ripping" it to your computer.
Personally I think the RIAA is becoming the most well-funded terrorist organization around.
Just letting everyone know, feedback?
