  Greetings all,

if you are a library that purchases music compact discs, I urge you to 
read this article from USA Today 11/17/05 
.

SONY/BMG have released over 50 new CDs that come with a potentially 
damaging spy ware file that automatically installs itself to your 
computer once you play the CD in your computer's disc drive. The article 
also lists all affected new release titles; SONY is recalling these 
titles , however these 
are the ones you definitely DO NOT want to buy.

Here's a spotter's guide that shows picture of exactly how these new XCP 
discs are marked on the jewel cases:
