sony/bmg crap

In case you haven’t heard.

Here’s a BoingBoing entry that has links to stories on Sony’s Digital Rights Management software that gets installed on your computer from several of their audio CDs and the hell that came from it:
Sony anti-customer technology roundup and time-line open link in new window.

Also there’s a Wired article on a man who is trying to find all computers infected by Sony’s crap rootkit:
Sony Numbers Add Up to Trouble open link in new window.

Boycott! Here’s how to tell which audio CDs are infected:
Are You Infected by Sony-BMG’s Rootkit? open link in new window.

Update: It turns out that the Tainted Sony CDs Used Open Source open link in new window which means that Sony/BMG used open-source software to create the copyright protection rootkit which is a contradiction.
