Re: How about a big round of "F*** You!" to Sony?

Seems like we're down to details at the point, and there's truth in what we're both saying (I still maintain that I have yet to see tangible proof that there is uninstall program for the process itself, I'm very particular about what my CPU is doing).

All I as is that next time you come at me with a, "Hey guys, check out the latest news...." As opposed to, "WRONG!" when all I was doing was simply recapping the article for someone who didn't feel up to speed enough to read the whole thing. No hard feeelings as long as we're clear on that. :Bingo:

ha ha It gets even better, pulled this from Techdirt -

After telling everyone that [URL="http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20051108/0117239_F.shtml"]rootkits don't matter, because no one knows what they are[/URL], and doing various other questionable moves -- almost all of which amount to "trust us," some people decided to figure out just what kind of bargain they were getting when they trust Sony-BMG. While it's already been shown that the end user license agreement that comes with Sony's copy protected CDs doesn't disclose the rootkit functionality that weakens the security on your computer and is quite difficult to uninstall without breaking parts of your computer -- and also doesn't disclose that the CD [URL="http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20051104/180213_F.shtml"]phones home[/URL] occasionally -- there's a lot of things that the EULA [I]does[/I] tell you. The folks at the EFF went through it and pulled out [URL="http://www.eff.org/deeplinks/archives/004145.php"]some of the more ridiculous terms[/URL]. By far, the absolute best term in the EULA is that if you file for bankruptcy, you need to delete the music. Recall, of course, that when you buy a standard, non-copy protected CD, there is no EULA at all. However, Sony would apparently prefer that all of you out there who have gone through any form of bankruptcy didn't listen to their music.

cocks.

Re: How about a big round of "F*** You!" to Sony?

man... sometimes i think it's better off not knowing some things. but to the earlier discussion in this thread about copyrighted stuff.. as much as it is protected, one can most likely find such a way to copy that cd with all the protected stuff on it, and maybe keep it away from computer.. :) they still copy overprotected games like not a big deal.

Re: How about a big round of "F*** You!" to Sony?

thank god i´m not interested in the media sony is related with..

Re: How about a big round of "F*** You!" to Sony?

if I go out and buy a CD and it fukks up my computer by installing some bullshit deep into the system, i will never buy a cd again.

Re: How about a big round of "F*** You!" to Sony?

uhmm as posted earlier in a link to [URL="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/4424254.stm"]http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/4424254.stm[/URL]

"[B]Artist list[/B] ..... The list includes popular artists such as [B]Natasha Bedingfield, Celine Dion and Amerie :shock: [/B]. ....So far Sony BMG has not released a list of how many CDs are protected or how many have been sold. It has only said that "about 20" titles are protected with the controversial program."

Just wondering if it's all crap pop artists, why has this become such a big issue specifically on a Prog music board? I understand the implications that Sony has caused... let's just boycot the fuckers.

:lol: :lol: :lol:

[B]FUCK SONY, FUCK BMG, FUCK RIAA... thank haven for internet....[/B]

Re: How about a big round of "F*** You!" to Sony?

As some have said - glad most of my purchses are electonic music or artist direct.

I'm sure it's only a matter of time before there is a lawsuit or somebody comes up with good removal software.
