SONY does a bad thing

Looks like certain copyprotected SONY CDs are encoded with programs that will reside on your computer and you can't rid yourself of them.

Here's a link if you are a technoweenie: The really technical detail is here. Just be careful before playing any disc in your computer drive. Read the label carefully about digital rights management (DRM). Incidentally, in comments on this gent's site it appears it may be illegal for SONY to have done this. UPDATE: Now Sony fesses up!
