This is actually true. Several years ago, Sony music labels had CDs that had to 'install' software onto your computer just so you could rip the CD's music onto your hard drives. Lots of virus scanning software automatically flagged the CD "installation" as malicious. Sony was confronted on this and DID have to pay a fine for doing this with their music CDs. I own one of those music CDs and it's a Switchfoot CD (Nothing Is Sound).
