Story: SonyBMG's criminal intent

Well said. I have been following SonyBMG's response closely to this fiasco. Your story underlies what I think the heart of their new problem is - they are completely estranging themselves from their legitimate customers. You would think they would get a clue. They think we care about the perceived injustice of people illegally listening to their music? I don't. But I do care when the music I purchase is incompatible with my media player software, won't play on my iPod, installs secretive files on my computer and forces me to keep track of miscellaneous digital rights nonsense. For me, this is WHY I buy cds in the first place, so I can enjoy my music when and how I like. Kudos SonyBMG, keep up the good work, I am sure loyal customers will be at your doors in throngs with the recent marketing genius that flows down upon us from headquarters.
