Sony ‘copy-protected’ CDs essentially install a rootkit onto your Windows system. For those of you who don’t know what a “rootkit” it — it’s a malicious piece of software (like a virus, worm or trojan horse) that enables other people to seize control of your computer remotely. Installing such software without the computer owner’s knowledge is basically a cyber-crime, and that makes Sony Music a criminal organization. The solution to this problem? Don’t buy any music from the SOBs at Sony Music. Sony Music sucks.
