The movie/content/gaming industry is more interested in 'protection'. NO, I'm not talking about ours as customers. :evil:

DRM'd discs with XCP from Sony are getting withdrawed from commerces (Amazon...).
This one ended a happy story. Sony is still facing lawsuits, but at least people who bought XCP DRM'd are eligible for uncrippled copies of the CDs they bought, even if these haven't been used on a computer yet.

Neat. I'll try that for my games.
Autorun is evil in Windows mostly, since it allows arbitrary code (software) to run or install with full administrator privileges and *without* user knowledge or consent. I believe this is not the default behaviour for GNU/Linux systems. Giving up a little convenience for more security is never a bad deal.

There's even more about Sony BMG. The full article can be read here http://www.businessweek.com/technology/content/nov2005/tc20051129_938966.htm

How about holding SHIFT while inserting a "suspicious" CD?

Disabling Autorun for CD/DVD drives entirely would be better I believe. :innocent:
