Not with Sony's DRM rootkit no matter if you accept the EULA or not
the software will still install and won't clear itself out even after a reboot.
IMHO not DRM system no matter how devious or cleaver it may seem to be is
fullproof
to prevent piracy of any kind. There are millions of websites dedicated to
finding hacks
around these DRM approaches that's for sure. And as long as music and
entertainment companies
keep making DRM software and antipiracy more inconvient for legal users the
more hacker sites
will be created to defeat these measures.
Its funny how Sony, IMG and other big mutinational media and entertainment
conglomerates
firmly believe in the false notion that eveybody steals the artists copyrighted
works when in reality they
are only punishing the legal and honest users for the actions of only a few
dishonest theives.
These multimedia companies are looking through the wrong end of the telescope
and unless if they just take the time do some market research in the form of
user surveys take those results and stop to think about who's really stealing
their artistic properties maybe just maybe they'll see once and for all who the
real pirates actually are.
So let the multimedia companies waste money on flawed antipiracy measures
becuase in the end they're not only punishing honest people but only
themselves.

I understood that if you do not accept the EULA the software runs but
gets cleared upon a reboot.
Their justification for this was to prevent people inserting the CD,
leaving the EULA on screen unanswered and ripping the music from the CD.
