no EULA?

On: Beastie Boys' New Album Silently Installs DRM Code

My housemate bought the aforementioned album, so i thought I'd check out what all this is about. Not being a windows or mac user nothing was installed (i hope) but i scoured the whole disc looking for a EULA or something that mentions the fact that software will be installed. The only human readable files on the disc were autorun.inf and UninstallPlayer.txt It's probably violating copyright laws to post their contents here but here goes.. UninstallPlayer.txt:

Several new files are automatically installed on your PC when listened to for the first time. In order to remove these newly installed files, please double click on "UninstallPlayer.exe" file.

There is no mention of this software anywhere in the liner notes or on the disc itself, and not wanting to be accused of reverse engineering i didn't look at the binaries themselves.. my question is, isn't it a bit late to tell users AFTER they've unknowingly installed the software that software is going to be installed? IMO just providing a way to remove the software just doesn't cut the mustard.
