This story adds a level to Sony’s sly metthod of loading various DRM software on user PC. All this focus on Sony does make me wonder what other companies are up to? Lately all the discussion has been about piracy and methods to protect intellectual rights, but subverting the customer’s computer system seems like a risky path, in my opinion. There are legal implications in Sony’s method, but more importantly, your computer and privacy end up compromised. The key is to simply avoid all infected CDs. Quarantine them. Ignore them. This won’t be the last we hear from Sony, nor the last attempt at intrusive DRM in CDs and DVDs.
