Beastie Boys CD installs virus

[brett]

A new Beastie Boys' CD called "To the Five Boroughs" (Capitol Records), is raising hackles around the Web for reputedly infecting computers with a virus. (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2004/06/23/beastie_boy_cd_virus/)

'Tis time to bin your Beastie Boys collection, Elwood!

Hmmm...

"The Register", a site known for flights of utter fantasy (the "Opera is spyware" nonsense) reports that a major record label has injected a destructive program (not a virus, though) into CDs (in violation of every anti-hacking law on the book), CDs available only in the irrelevant countries and which can't be independently confirmed ...

OH! WAIT!

>>major record label<<

On reflection, I believe it. Every word.

ps. Actually, I believe that Elwood's taste runs more toward that Vanilla Ice Cream guy.

My word, what shall I ever do? My Beastie Boys collection is such a treasure....NOT!

You couldn't pay me enough to pollute my ears with such tripe!

I still listen to Hendrix et al!
