Sony Music CD's Contain Mac DRM Software Too

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the no-one-is-safe dept.

brjndr writes "A MacInTouch poster has found that certain Sony CD's also contain a smaller extra partition for 'enhanced' content. Running one of the applications found within this partition installs kernel extensions containing DRM software by SunnComm. In Sony's defense you're told what is being installed within a EULA which pops up when the program is loaded. Thankfully we all read our EULAs completely."

    should throw up *some* sort of red flag

    A client of mine once got an email instructing telling her that a virus had been installed on her system. She was to immediately locate a file (I think it was COMMAND.COM) and delete it, which would remove the hazard.

    She forwarded it on to me (just in case I needed it, you see) and then sent me a second email because the person who sent her the message had trashed their system, and she thought I was about to do same.

    When it comes to stupidity among users, I will believe anything
