[ QUOTE ] Just bought the new CD. Popped it into the computer so I could rip it, etc etc. Computer doesn't recognize it. Thanks Sony you retarded, don't understand your consumers, [censored]. [/ QUOTE ] I had the same problem with the Velvet Revolver album and have since refused to buy anything from Sony. I did get my Wega in there right before I bought this CD, though. [/ QUOTE ] Yeah, the irony is that, since I listen to most things on my mp3 player more than anywhere else, I won't buy anything that's restrictive in this way. |

Essentially, Sony is installing software on your pc that intentionally hides and disguises its actions. Not cool. It's in Mark's blog |

Re: Son Volt
You may find this interesting.
http://it.slashdot.org/it/05/11/11/1...58&tid=233 Sony installs a rootkit on your PC to hide the files, and now hackers and spammers are using the rootkit sony installs to hide their files from you. As a result Sony has now apparently decided to stop bundling the software with the CD's, but the cat is already out of the bag. |

Re: Son Volt
Another site on this...
http://www.boycottsony.us/ There are a couple workarounds to allow you to rip songs off these protected CDs, which if not on this site, should be found pretty easily via google. |

[ QUOTE ] Ugh. I can't rip the new Stellastarr CD unless I "Agree" to install whatever anti-piracy software Sony put on the CD. This is absurd. [/ QUOTE ] They're being sued. [/ QUOTE ] They have discontiuned their mechanism. |

Re: Son Volt
As other posters have said, throwing any disc made by Sony in my PC is about the last thing I'd be doing right about now. The box doesn't just install a rootkit but aparently allows arbitrary code to be executed on your box as well. Running that is just asking for your box to be pwned.
