Copy protections detecting virtual CDs : is this legal ?

[mim]

I wonder about the legality of these copy protections detecting virtual CDs software or any other software on my machine.

Don't I have the right to install any legal software on my machine without being bothered that other programs detect them (and won't launch in the process )?
Isn't this a privacy problem ?

Is this part of the International Rights Void (TM) ?
Do someone have a clear answer ?
Any lawyer here ? ;)

i would come to think so...... i guess it could be concidered a privacy problem, and it is legit to make backups of your owned software.... and if it's not - how are they ever going to know ? :) :) :)
