"Its quite simple you dont own the music you buy, you own a right to play it, companies have to a right to protect their products from thiefs and as i said before most people who think sony are wrong probably dont buy any music at all"

So whatever Sony does to protect its rights is okay, according to you? So I buy a CD and I not only am forced to let the DRM software be installed, Sony's install process doesn't (a) warn me that it is about to install software which may seriously compromise my computer's security and (b) provide me with a means to uninstall that software when I've decided I don't want to have it on my computer any more. And you're okay with this?
