Story: Microsoft to delete Sony DRM 'rootkit'
Posted by: Lupa (Monday 14 November 2005, 7:29 PM)
The bottomline is that when a consumer purchase a music CD, what he/she pays for is not a polycarbonate disc, but the music on it. And the way how to playback the music belongs to the consumer's choice. If CD vendors' DRM schemes, including current SONY BMG's notorious one, prohibit this consumer's right, we should boycott all CDs come with some kind of DRM scheme. I think DRM is not the appropriate naming. CRB, or Consumer's Rights Blockade, is more suitable one to describe the reality.
