Beasties
So there's been some online controversy about the alledged use of digital rights management (DRM) technology to prevent piracy of the Beastie Boys' latest disc, To the 5 Boroughs.
Well, I just picked up a copy of the CD yesterday -- it's one of the few actual discs I've bought in the past year, as almost all of my music budget now goes into the iTunes Music Store. I bought it on CD, because I really wanted the physical disc for some inexplicable reason.
Anyway, suffice it to say there's no goddamn DRM on the disc. Apparently this information has spread from overseas sources, where there actually *is* DRM on the disc. But in the US, and from what I've read, the UK as well, there's no such technology present.
