…all the more reason to simply purchase from iTunes.
Personal anecdotal evidence shows that OS X does have some sort of autorun-on-mount, even with all of the automatic junk disabled in Safari and Unstuffit. I have seen *.dmg files that launch either a license agreement or an installer application, but never bothered to research the exact mechanism by which they do this.
I know BMG was doing this with SunnComm software, but that at least prompts you before installing. Still very annoying.
I guess Capitol and Beastie Boys feel they have a “License to Ill” your computer.

“Hi, I’m not sure who posted re: Beastie Boys copy protection, but I just spoke with Mike D and their management and they wanted me to pass along that a) This is all territories except the US and UK — US and UK discs do not have this protection on them; b) All EMI CDs are treated this way, theirs isn’t receiving special treatment; c) They would have preferred not to have the copy protection, but weren’t allowed to differ from EMI policy.”

After reading both the Bugtraq and Beastie boards, I’m not convinced of any of the assertions I found there.
