[Quote] Your Rights Online: Beastie Boys’ New Album Silently Installs DRM Code

from the but-the-beastie-boys-are-so-countercultural dept.

“After more than five years, the Beastie Boys have released a new album. It seems that the retail disc is bundled with a copy protection autoinstaller which silently silently puts itself onto the listener’s computer. Many listeners are up in arms and some are venting their frustrations on the band’s website.[Quote]

I’m so not going to buy there album.

*pfft*

    I have the latest Beasties cd without the DRM. If you want, sir, we can port it over to you via the usual channels. Indicate by nodding once.

    (:

    PS. No, the FTPserver is still down, but any spacemonkey can effect a workaround.
