Sony's EULA Worse Than Its Rootkit?

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the quite-possibly dept.

jaaron writes "If you think the Sony rootkit is bad, check out the accompanying EULA! From the EFF's summary: 'If your house gets burgled, you have to delete all your music from your laptop when you get home. ... Sony-BMG can install and use backdoors in the copy protection software or media player to "enforce their rights" against you, at any time, without notice. ... Forget about using the music as a soundtrack for your latest family photo slideshow, or mash-ups, or sampling.'"

    now this is funny. This guy (ndtechnologies) gets marked as being offtopic for his response to an already offtopic comment, but yet the original post about the robot with the giant penis from CGP314 gets moderated in the positive when it is CLEARLY OFFTOPIC? What kind of idiots are they giving mod points to now?
