Sony has crossed the line. Years ago, they were leading the edge, introducing cutting edge consumer electronics concepts like the WalkMan, the DiscMan, and the MiniDisc. Now they are infecting your computer with a malicious and dangerous digital rights managment (DRM) rootkit that can cause system instability, open your computer up to viruses, spy on you, and impose ridiculous restrictions on what you can do with your own computer.
Sony's so-called 'content-enhanced' CD's will install DRM laden spyware on your PC by simply placing the disk in its drive. They have lied about the software in their EULA, and until pressure rose to a fevered pitch, Sony refused to provide a method to remove their dangerous DRM rootkit.
DRM is bad for people. DRM stops users from enjoying their content and frustrates consumers while doing nothing to stop pirates from stealing and selling their digital wares. DRM is the industries' way of saying you no longer own your content when you buy it, but are merely borrowing it.
Sony refuses to apologize for their aggressive and dangerous actions that infected millions of computers, and left consumers helpless with their expensive computers with limited functionality. It is for this reason that Sory Electronics and others such as Wired News call for an immediate boycott of Sony products and Sony/BMG music. Sory Electronics encourages you not to buy CDs, DVDs, Playstation products, games, or personal entertainment equipment from Sony.
Every dollar spent on a Sony product sends a message that you are OK with a corporation who spies on your personal computer habits and opens up your PC to malicious hackers.
