Story: Sony plans patch after DRM rootkit row
Posted by: Anonymous (Monday 7 November 2005, 6:35 AM)
It is hard to understand how Sony can manufacture minidisc recorders, CD and DVD burners and the media to use in them on the one hand and then expect to prevent you from using them for making compilations or convenience copies of the music you have paid them for on the other hand. I may not own the copyright, but I own the discs I buy and I damnwell expect to be able to organise the music I bought, the way I want it, when I want it. I hope Sony's shares plummet for being so cynical to think that they can have their cake and eat it. Personally, I'm not inclined to buy anything else marked "Sony" until they show some respect for the people who have supported them over the years. In the meantime, ALL the CD's with this malware rootkit should be marked with a huge sticker "Warning - this CD may damage your computer".
