Sony to recall music CDs that have harmful software

"The global music giant Sony BMG plans to recall millions of CDs by at least 20 artists, from crooners Celine Dion and Neil Diamond to the country-rock act Van Zant, because they contain copy restriction software that poses risks to the computers of consumers."
Apparently the software hides itself on your computer and then communicates with Sony. I wonder what it says. Possibly something like, "Can you believe this idiot actually bought and listens to a Celine Dion/ Neil Diamond/Van Sant CD?".
