Story: Microsoft to delete Sony DRM 'rootkit'
Posted by: Josh (Sunday 13 November 2005, 11:38 PM)
I think the whole epidemic of digital rights protection has gone overboard. It's bad enough that you don't even have full rights to the music you buy, but that in turn, it can put your personal information and security at risk. No matter what type of limitations they try to put on our music, there will always be those out there that will work endlessly to find ways around them. In the end, they will only further promote piracy leaving the average consumer with the burden of restriction and higher cd prices.
