| Stuck on Stupid Sony has just landed themselves about 10 billion dollars of bad advertising. This is the most underhanded crap I have yet heard of. I will never, ever purchase anything on a Sony CD. It is clear Sony is doing everything they can do to discourage playing their CD's on computers.

Dallas, TX | Re: Stuck on Stupid I think the boycott ought to apply to any products made
by Sony: not just anything on theirs or the BMG label,
but TVs, DVD players, Walkmen, PS2s & PSPs, the Vaio,
you name it. If Sony produces it, I won't buy it. | |

Atlanta, GA | Its very simple... Dont buy the product. The only power you have is your ability to spend money on the things you find to be worthy. These guys could care less about anything but their bottom line...period | |

| This is a jab at iTunes While I agree that Sony has clearly crossed the line with their spyware stunt here, I think that their original intent was to prevent PC users from copying CD's to their iPod's. Sony has made the process of copying your DRM CD to an iPod format very cumbersome but not impossible. As noted earlier, Mac users have no problem copying the CD to iPod. Sony is targeting a much larger base of users who might want to copy their music (PC users). Sony is very jealous of the success of Apple iTunes and iPod and are trying to confuse consumers into thinking that Apple is bad. I'm not saying this is "THE" reason that Sony decided to do this but it is just another slant to the big picture. | |

| "DRM goes bad"? "DRM goes bad"?
That's like saying "Spoiled milk goes sour". 
Sony wet the bed with this move, now I'm eager to see them lie in it.
