So, here is a list of all of the artists that I will now never buy a "new" album, released during or after this year.

Good going sony. If it wasn't for vegas and the Play Station, I would never own another sony product in my life.

No surprise, typical Sony behavior.

This is by no means the first (or likely the last) time.

Wow....no privacy at all anymore..not even from big coporations.

Even listening to music now is restricted on computers...and to some...not even a possibility.

Sony is madd stupid...they are wayy to hardheaded on doing everything.

I agree with Scharky....only Vegas and the Playstation...thats it.


....is there anyway to get rid of the software?

Here is the latest bit of news on this subject.

That's brilliant. Gotta love the hackers for throwing it in Sony's face.

 

[David Jimerson]

I doubt that was their motivation.

Here's another take on the story.

[Isaac_Brody]

Yeah, I figure the hackers are just exploiting an opening. I just think that hacking will unintentionally force Sony to give customers a way to disable their crappy copy protection that only works on Windows. Sony Sony Sony. :thumbdown

Ummm. Bad Sony...bad sony...bs...

 

[khmuse]

Sony announces that they will suspend the manufacturer of discs which utilize the XCP system.

[khmuse]

... and now Sony issues a recall.

khmuse - You're like the DVXuser roving reporter. Thanks. If Sony only gets a slap on the wrist for this then it's going to set a bad precedent.

 

[khmuse]

Sony has earned much more than a slap on the wrist on this and a number of other occasions, but to date, I know if no examples of any real consequences for them. I really don't expect their practices to change in any constructive direction.

Maybe they need to make another bouncing ball propoganda commercial for their music division. Or drop 250,000 DRM protected cds from the sky. :evil:
