Sony BMG pulls CD copy-protection software
WASHINGTON (AP) — Stung by continuing criticism, the world's second-largest music label, Sony BMG Music Entertainment, promised Friday to suspend making music CDs with anti-piracy technology that can leave computers vulnerable to hackers.

Sony defended its right to prevent customers from illegally copying music but said it will stop making CDs with the "XCP" technology as a precautionary measure. "We also intend to re-examine all aspects of our content protection initiative to be sure that it continues to meet our goals of security and ease of consumer use," the company said in a statement.
