Perhaps you should read the article and patent information first before making broad, generalizing, "the sky is falling!" statements like this. I can assure you that the digital music industry is safe from AT&T.
I fail to see how installing a new, blank hard drive makes you vulnerable to computer viruses. I've been sitting here for five minutes trying to come up with a scenario where a virus infection occurs from installing hardware that requires no software to run as it is all in the BIOS. I can't think of a single case where something like that would occur.
Perhaps you should check some facts before posting something that you obviously know very little about.
