sony drm

<< < (4/4)

Catfish_Man:
Particularly hilarious is how they stole GPL-licensed code (including DVD-Jon's DRM removal code, iirc) for their rootkit. That means they...

committed copyright infringment by stealing anti-drm code in order to illegally install drm software to prevent copyright infringement.

I mean, seriously, wtF.

jhocking:

--- Quote from: that link est posted ---Add that to rising number of anti-DRM voices within in the company who have been against DRM as only hurting "the people that are doing the right thing and buying our music."
--- End quote ---

How long have people been telling that to the record labels?  I really hope they're finally getting it.  Now if only software makers would learn that same lesson.

salada:
these guys have plotted the geographical locations of sony's rootkit-affected networks on google earth or something like it. scary.

nihilist:
Sony would like the Internet to fuck off and die.  If you take a broad view of their products, they're trying to come up with a Sony network - a happy world where everything is Sony, and only Sony can talk to other Sony stuff.  Full of DRM, of course.  Micropayments are the future!  You bought a Sony CD?  Want to listen to it on your portable Sony player?  It'll cost you!

Sweet sweet DRM.

FreshJive787:
