Don't play Sony CDs in your PC anymore :-/

Apparently, some of them install rootkits now.

The DRM reference made me recall having purchased a CD recently that can only be played using the media player that ships on the CD itself and that limits you to at most 3 copies. I scrounged through my CD’s and found it, Sony BMG’s Get Right with the Man (the name is ironic under the circumstances) CD by the Van Zant brothers. I hadn’t noticed when I purchased the CD from Amazon.com that it’s protected with DRM software, but if I had looked more closely at the text on the Amazon.com web page I would have known:

Apparently, by trying to directly uninstall this thing, you'll fuck up your important registry entires and your boot process, too. How fucking far is this copy-protection shit gonna go? O .o

better solution: don't buy music CDs from Sony - problem solved!

[Ninjavenom]

Yeah, i figure that i personally don't plan on it, but for those who foolishly would... :-/
