Sony, Rootkits and Digital Rights Management Gone Too Far.

I was loading this page while putting a CD into my traditional, real stereo. I did think that maybe I should use the shiny box, but, well, I think I'll stick to something that can't be reprogrammed without my knowledge thanks. theweaselking once again provides the link, dial up peeps may wish to not be loading anything else, impressive number of screenshots.

Agreed. Oh noes!!!, teh intorweb allows our customers to get stuff differently. We won't adapt to this, we'll simply try and outlaw it.

Economic crime: the markets way of getting around excessive regulation.

DRM: Excessive regulation.

It's not doing them any favours across the board. apparently there are some cheats for World of Warcraft that take advantage of the system as well. Stoopid.
