Sony DRM: rootkit

Thanks to boingboing.net I've been doing my best to follow the Sony corruption story. What I've gathered is very basic, but has led me to a definitive conclusion: I have no faith in Sony Corporation or its products. The company has lied numerous times and continues to disrespect its customers and violate its customers' electronics with its ridiculous licences, malware, patents, etc.

The situation is just unbelievable, really.

Funny that just recently I was thinking that maybe I would stick with Sony MiniDisc player -- and its irritating OpenMG Jukebox software -- instead of switching to Apple's new iPod and iTunes. Hah! Decision made easier. iPod in the mail.
