In Reply to: Their is some copy-protection that actually loads some spyware onto your hardrive - beware. posted by PdL on November 4, 2005 at 04:59:04:

the goal of the copy protected CD is to force the consumer to play alternate files on the computer- some protected format like Windows Media Audio. Therefore, the CD may in some cases try to install a driver on the computer that prevents the disk drive from reading the actual normal CD (wav) files. This is not the way copy protection on a DVD works. For the time being, I think you're safe from DVDs that try to install executables on your machine.

No sh*t., but copywrite protection for DVD's is just around the corner. - PdL 12:29:48 11/04/05 (0)
I don't listen to CD's (or watch DVD's) on my computer anyway, so I'm not too concerned about that aspect of the copywrite protection.
