Sony recalls CDs for posing risks to PCs
From the “rootkit update” department—Sony recalls CDs for posing risks to PCs: 5M discs will be recalled from store shelves, customers who bought over 2M such discs will be offered exchanges. The EFF is feeling rightfully happy. And Brad Hill says: “I would love to eavesdrop on conversations between Sony BMG execs and their counterparts at other labels as the music-DRM initiative is brought crashing to the ground.”
