The publishing side of Sony has decided it would be a totally sweet and awesome idea to install rootkits on your PC when you drop your legit CD in the drive to listen to it, it is their genius new form of DRM.
The rootkits stay on your PC after you take the CD out, and if you try to remove them, it supposedly makes it so you can't play CDs on your computer anymore.
The extent of my piracy so far has been limited to out of date and unavailable ROMs and Emulators, which are all but legal in that game companies generally look the other way, and occassionally downloading a song or two from an artist to see if I might like to buy their music, deleting it afterwards if I didn't.
This is just plain wrong, it's not mentioned at all in the EULA, and from now on, I'll be stealing any music I want published on a Sony label.
Sue me.
