Story: Antivirus firms consider protection against Sony DRM rootkit

These DRM programs violate the entire reason for purchasing CD's over music downloads. That is, when copied onto your computer the bit rate is low and quality is poor. The DRM tracks included on CD’s are reminiscent of cassette tape quality. My computer is a major component in my stereo system, and I copy all my CD's with a high bit-rate, lossless codec. Why pay for CD's that will have low quality music when it would be more convenient to download them from Napster or iTunes. Furthermore, poor quality DRM software like Sony's should be recognized by antivirus software. It causes my computer to behave in unexpected ways and it limits my rights to listen to music that I purchased legally. I want to play my legally purchased music however I want for my uses. Period.
