Beware of Sony and Rootkits

This is a good explanation and will allow you to avoid the pitfalls of it, and also make copies for your portable.

SONY LOST-read today's NYT. Sony is recalling all cd's with copy protection. For once, the little guy wins!

How do I join the class action on this issue with Sony? I have a movie soundtrack from Asia which has this kind of software on it. So I think the list of the problem CDs will grow when the news spread.

Are Sony trying to destroy the evidence by collecting the CD back?

If you’re a little guy whose computer has already been corrupted by Sony’s malfeasance, it is a hollow victory to say the least.
