Boycott Sony

In yet another anti-customer move by the music industry, Sony put technology on their CD's which ended up royally f**king up customers computers. Read about it here.

Sony is also being sued in a class-action lawsuit because the CD's failed to disclose that software would be installed on your computer (software which, among other things, disables the CD burner, hides files from you, and leaves your computer vulnerable to hackers) if you did something like, oh say... listen to the CD with Windows Media Player. Read about that at the New York Times: http://www.nytimes.com/2005/11/22/technology/22sony.html?ei=5090&en=0d3647edf65d1a92&ex=1290315600&adxnnl=1&partner=rssuserland&emc=rss&adxnnlx=1132905814-qv7AXjobXQ22NIDPyG5oSA
