As both a musician and an internet security pro, this nonsense continues to drive me nuts. a) Sony manufactures some great digital recording technology and markets it to sell it 2) Sony then goes after anyone using that technology to record their music that they market in the name of all that is fair, just and legal and then iii) Pull this illegal horse&*$( and then continue to vociferously pursue their other two agendas.
Then... they get a slap on the wrists while fifteen year olds are getting threatened with jailtime for making a copy of a cd.
Any money on which of the three items will get stopped first??
Y'know, if they took all that coding effort on their antipiracy team and put it into writing secure code, they could know put half of all the AV, spyware and firewall companies out of business in one swell foop. Geezus when will they get their priorities straight....
Anyway... back to my linux box.
