Messed Up CD's

Not sure if any of you have been following this, but Sony music has several CD's that install this ridiculous software that is extremely onerous. It's a nasty program that is called a root-kit that supposedly once installed is undetectable and remains on your system, beaming back info to Sony about your listening habits. There's a lot of folks that are up in arms about this. I agree with them that it's ridiculous for Sony to do this and be sneaky about it. Here's one link, but there's a lot out there if you're interested Rootkit: Sony-BMG's EULA

The lawsuits are already starting to pour in. I hope the lawyers nail them for this one. I refuse to buy CD's with that security software crap on them.
