Story: Antivirus firms consider protection against Sony DRM rootkit
Posted by: James Foster (Friday 4 November 2005, 11:02 PM)
I think the best thing we can do is boycott ALL Sony products. Let's start with the Playstation 2 and PSP and then move on to SonyBMG records. I'm sick of Sony trying to ram their proprietary formats down our throat rather than support industry/open standards. The list includes Minidisc, ATRAC, Memory Stick, Betamax, Blu Ray DVD, HiFD, DAT, Sony Dynamic Digital Sound, UMD, SACD, ATRAC3. Go to the Sony music download site connect.com - you can only download music in ATRAC3 which only works on Sony hardware. Until 2004 they refused to even support MP3 in their hardware. Luckily for us Samsung, LG and the Chinese will put Sony's Consumer Electronics business out of business.
