Sony artists need to put their foot down against "big brother" who has them under contract. Since the RIAA does not care about customers, the time has come for ARTISTS to make noise, protest and go public against this nonsense for the sake of the fans (who are getting PENALIZED for making purchases!).
I don't ever want to hear once more about ILLEGAL DOWNLOADS from artists, the RIAA, their agents, publicists, lawyers or whomever. This crosses a line to which there is no return. If Hollywood didn't OWN our politicians this would be long ago have been illegal and a highly prosecutable offense like spam.

Quote:
The entire experience was frustrating and irritating. Not only had Sony put software on my system that uses techniques commonly used by malware to mask its presence, the software is poorly written and provides no means for uninstall. Worse, most users that stumble across the cloaked files with a RKR scan will cripple their computer if they attempt the obvious step of deleting the cloaked files.
While I believe in the media industry’s right to use copy protection mechanisms to prevent illegal copying, I don’t think that we’ve found the right balance of fair use and copy protection, yet. This is a clear case of Sony taking DRM too far
