I threw a bit of a hissy-fit a couple of years ago over the digital rights managment (DRM) software that SONY was building into its CDs.
As soon as you popped a SONY CD into your computer, a nasty little program would load onto your computer. While being illegal in and of itself, it had the unexpected consequence of making the computer more susceptible to a viral attack.
Well, there are finally whispers that SONY has reversed course and decided that it needs to be a little more realistic about this matter.
SONY is expected to make an announcement soon about its decision to ditch DRM.
