Sony Repents Over CD Debacle

Posted by Zonk on from the please-don't-burn-us-at-the-stake dept.

schnikies79 writes "Sony BMG is rethinking its anti-piracy policy following weeks of criticism over the copy protection used on CDs. The head of Sony BMG's global digital business, Thomas Hesse, told the BBC that the company was 're-evaluating' its current methods. This follows widespread condemnation of the way anti-piracy software on some Sony CDs installs itself on computers. The admission came as Sony faced more censure over the security failings of one of its copy protection programs."

    I've had this conversation with about dozen friends and cow orkers over the years, and found that about half of this admittedly-limited group can't hear the difference
    Usually, the spelling and grammar police bug me and it seems I'm about to become one, but this one really cracked me up. I'm going to start calling the people I work with cow orkers too. I don't know what orkers do to cows, but it makes me laugh.
