I haven’t bought a single CD or appliance from Sony after the debacle. It just shows so bad taste (not only the rootkit but the whole idea of preventing people from taking wholly lawful copies of their CDs).

Ah its funny how an old product like the ‘CD’ which sits on some of our shelves-its a generational thing; I have had over 8,000 CD’s-could be holding on to old technology like the Sony DRM attempt. But come on, its fair game for anybody who produces media to try to protect their rights to advertise next to those items. I’m only not fond of DRM for the simple reason that it does more then just pin me down, it tries to eventually evade my computers working environment for its own use. I like DRM only for the fact that the profits made from track-able plays on peoples computers should be paying for the artists lifestyle who create the fresh content.

Aw, come on, this piece of news is so ancient…Even the news of the settlement is getting old now. But I suppose there are always people who don’t know about it, so ok.

One thing that’s most interesting: how many dollars will SonyBMG give you for breaking into your PC, making it vurnerable to attacks, takeovers and virii, and collecting data about you? Right. Now, how many thousands of dollars does the RIAA ask for every song you may pirate? Rrright.

By the way, it’s ‘scandal’, not ‘scandel’??

combine things like this with the pending ps3 debacle and the invisible hand is getting ready to pimp slap sony….
