Re: Still no reason for DRM stuff.

Releasing a patch to make it visible still keeps it there, and doesn't make a hidden DRM rootkit right.
You are correct. And having to ask SONY to give you uninstall instructions is abominable.

If they want to protect their CD with DRM that is their right --- BUT ---
1 - It should be plastered all over the front of the CD case before you buy it.
2 - It should require you to respond to prompts that it is being installed and that it will alter and potentially break your CD drive access for other products.
3 - It should include standard uninstall procedures and be un-installable from the "ADD/REMOVE" option in the Windows control panel.

P.S> I am sure the uninstall instructions will be findable from a Google search before the day is out.
