Exclamation Stop supporting Sony

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/4424254.stm

Don't know how many of you have been following this, but Sony used some code "First 4 Internet" wrote to try and stop people copying some albums. Problem was, the method involved installing a rootkit that anyone could exploit.

They've been trying to PR themselves out this mess, but I'm glad someone is trying.

Yet another reason never to buy anything from Sony.

News Update:
First trojan virus out there now that's using that said code.

http://it.slashdot.org/it/05/11/10/1...id=172&tid=233

Why anyone would buy an album from Sony direct or indirect is beyond me now, they are shiiting on the people that keep them in business and don't care one bit. They know this will all go away given a month or two

No it's the equivalent of spyware, it's a rootkit. It's a virus, one of the worst kind.

Sony has no stopped using that software, but I would say don't let them off the hook so easy.

Companies like this are pissing on your rights, but we keep going back to them time after time. If I see Sony (or one of their sublabels) on a CD again, it gets downloaded, nothing more.

It keeps getting worse, Sony are shiitting on you.

http://www.eff.org/deeplinks/archives/004145.php

1. If your house gets burgled, you have to delete all your music from your laptop when you get home. That's because the EULA says that your rights to any copies terminate as soon as you no longer possess the original CD.

2. You can't keep your music on any computers at work. The EULA only gives you the right to put copies on a "personal home computer system owned by you."

3. If you move out of the country, you have to delete all your music. The EULA specifically forbids "export" outside the country where you reside.

4. You must install any and all updates, or else lose the music on your computer. The EULA immediately terminates if you fail to install any update. No more holding out on those hobble-ware downgrades masquerading as updates.

5. Sony-BMG can install and use backdoors in the copy protection software or media player to "enforce their rights" against you, at any time, without notice. And Sony-BMG disclaims any liability if this "self help" crashes your computer, exposes you to security risks, or any other harm.

6. The EULA says Sony-BMG will never be liable to you for more than $5.00. That's right, no matter what happens, you can't even get back what you paid for the CD.

7. If you file for bankruptcy, you have to delete all the music on your computer. Seriously.

8. You have no right to transfer the music on your computer, even along with the original CD.

9. Forget about using the music as a soundtrack for your latest family photo slideshow, or mash-ups, or sampling. The EULA forbids changing, altering, or make derivative works from the music on your computer.
