because they contain hidden malware.. basically, sony/bmg cds shipping since march 2005 will install a rootkit that hides files, patches your windows kernel, and generally fucks up your system.. if you try to delete this software, your cd-rom drive will stop functioning.. |

ps: spread the word. save your friends a trip to the repair shop.. |

If all this isn't a bullshit - thank you. |

Don't be such a rude prick. he's posted a message, with links to legitimate articles in both the washington post and a 100% detailed one in sysinternals. it's obviously not "a bullshit". there's no need for that carry-on. |

it's true. |

I usually buy Verbatim CDs anyway, but I have some mates of mine that buy them though. I think I'll have to tell them of all this. |

Wow, I smell a lawsuit!!! |

........ The subject is CDs. Not CD-Rs (recordables). These are CDs released by Sony. Get with it. |
||||||||

Okay, I read just his post, now I'm going to read the article. |

isnt this the thing that was on the beastie boys album? if so its easily avoidable but still amazingly cuntish |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
does the idea of a blank, recordable cd containing software strike anyone as being...... jesus christ, i'm not going on another anti-tridenti rant, but really, how does someone actually think these things logically possible? |

I hate Copy Controlled CD, they don't stop me putting stuff on iTunes, it just takes me longer. Copy Controll doesn't work, I wish record companies would give me insentive to buy CDs (Good packaging, art ect.) Instead of me thinking twice about an album because of Copy Control. |

i ahte how alot of braindance type music has awful and non existent inlays. aphex is a good example of not much to read in his inlays mr snares aswell, i like a good thick inlay book that takes 30 minutes to work out how the hell it folds together, with backtracking through the unfolding process to work out which way each bend goes. Its like a rubix cube but prettier. also the music industry is just paranoid, remeber all the taping is killing music adverts about people taping off the radio ITS SILLY they will never beat us pirates - *dons eye patch and sails into the distance singing sea shanties and chanting "more cowbell" |

ha! you'd think sony would have thought of this before now.what an utter shower of shites i have to say, and copy protection never works.as soon as a new algorithm is released it's cracked the next day by some kids that are still in highschool |

sony has suddenly released a patch to remove the malware: . |

I am pretty sure thats illegal as hell. That won't stop them anyway. |
||||||||
|

|

thats some twisted shit |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hah!... incidentally I just found this article. Aparently, the hidden sony files can be used to bypass the copy protection in world of warcraft. I read to far into it, so I don't know the details, but if its true, thats some funny shit. |

How is this legal? |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
i thought it was about this, as i'm busy burning (lightscribing actually) now |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that's so fucked... if i ever buy a copy-protected cd by mistake (i was already boycotting them) i don't even know if i'll keep/try it now. the music industry is really going to hell. |
||||||||
|

they're getting now.. |

Due to the bad press that this is going to net them, sony could be in some serious trouble. As soon as anybody finds out that sony is putting the legal equivalent of viruses on peoples computers, nobody is going to want to buy sony cd's. Especially the kind of people that don't really know much about viruses except that they are bad are a good portion of their market audience. |

It's a fucking joke. Why the fuck did they think they'd do this? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Even if they loose, they could still appeal the judgement untill they get a judge who is compassionate towards their means, and use that judgement as a precident towards legalizing other melicious means of copy protection. |
