Just a wee note in case anyone has missed this one..

Without *any* hint of exaggeration, Sony's DRM protected CDs install
malware
onto your Windows PC which can and will interfere with it's normal
operation. If you run a spyware cleaner which removes it, it can render
your
PC unbootable.

I wonder how much more of this people will tolerate while still considering
the media industry to be "in the right".
