Music Industry - Everyone is a potential Criminal

To all of you that agued that DMCA wouldn't result in anything harmful coming out of the entertainment industry, well, it is now well known that newer Sony BMG audio CDs drop a little present on your Windows box. The importance of this? <a href="http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/11/10/sony_drm_trojan/">It is already being exploited</a>, <a href="http://www.freedom-to-tinker.com/?p=919">is being used by other spyware to further compromise your system</a>, and is even <a href="http://online.securityfocus.com/brief/34">disrupting World of Warcraft</a>.

Besides, the moment you drop the money down on the counter for the CD, you're <a href="http://www.eff.org/deeplinks/archives/004145.php">agreeing to some really bizarre legal agreement</a>.

Shit, Sony, why you gotta be so nasty?
