Sony takes DRM too far

Great read. Shows how pathetic Sony truly is. :P

Haha, wow.  That's actually kind of funny.

Hmm, it's down for me as well.

Trust, it was about how Sony had a rootkit for some registry and filesystem entries.  The guy who wrote the article tracked it down to some copyright protection information that was stuck on his computer when he ripped a CD (I think -- I just skimmed the article.  It was pretty long).

Skimmed it too. The focus of the article is a bit saddening, that they're installing rootkits. Also, for no good gain on their side. Anyone can just download ReplayMusic, capture it while its playing, and have it copied just as fast as they can listen to the CD.

EDIT -
Sidoh, he didn't rip the CD, he loaded it in the player it was distributed with.
