|  said by Weasel  : - the fun never seems to stop. Just more bad PR for SONY. The decision to use this particular DRM software was a total disaster for them. I'll bet whoever made the decision to use the vendor that supplied them with this DRM software is on the chopping block, if not already fired.

I'm not so sure I trust Sony to remove a stealth root-kit they so deviously put on a users PC. I'd prefer a tool designed by a security software expert to remove it. He/she who holds nothing but the users best security interests in mind.

If this is what happens where you work, then congratulations, as you probably work at one of a few companies where things actually make sense. An employer like that is extremely hard to come by these days.

Re: Security Software Expert
Actually, I would be tempted to just wipe out the drive and start over.... when comes to the matter of Sony being upfront. My impression of them at this point is trying to sweep this under the rug as quietly as possible.
The sad thing is it took a, hee hee pesky blogger to let us all know the shenanigans they were up to. If it were not for that, no telling what other useful to the customer DRM type things they would try.
Shame on them. But that's the sort of thing that can be expected from the music industry.
As others have pointed out before. I'm sure this will end up costing them a lot more than any perceived losses from piracy.
At least now Sony and others are on notice. There are people out there watching what you do. |

I've seen guys that were dumb as a box of rocks promoted to executive control of multi-state operations and when they made a mess of things, no one wanted to admit they were wrong to promote these guys, so they just shifted them around to different states. |
