I am fairly disappointed by what I’ve heard about one of my top respected compagnies. Those, I have highly estimeed for years made use of an eery program on their CDs. About 20 of their new CDs include a malicious program that is supposed to prevent piracy. But the best thing it could do: Collect personnal information, and leave your computer open to attacks using an advanced stealth program. As the news came out, Sony decided to halt the production of those discs. They have not proposed a replacement program nor seem to have any remorse for their actions. Now I’ll think twice before putting a Sony dics (CD or DVD) in my computer if I’m running Windows, I suppose we might have to stick with conventionnal CD & DVD players.
