Whew, I am SO glad they pulled that rootkit software! I was just about to rip 25,000 Sony CDs belonging to myself and my friends, and upload them to a buddy's server so that everyone in the world can download them for free. We do this a few times a year, actually, along with my mom and dad, and most of the people I know. When we all heard about the rootkit, we thought, Oh hell - how are we going to get around this? We were afraid we'd have to go back to renting movies again. Thankfully, we can now go ahead with our lives as usual. My mom's ripping that Celine Dion CD right now like a crazy woman.
Sony, I'm so glad your copy protection software is easy for me to use. I want nothing more than to help you protect your intellectual property by never making a copy of my purchased CD for use in my iPod. In fact, I'm selling my evil iPod and replacing it with a Sony brand portable CD player, so that I can take the music with me again while simultaneously protecting your interests. I love you, and I will do exactly what you want as long as I can listen to your music, which is more important to me than food.
