And secretly

DRM is just a front for the GOVERNMENT to install their monitoring software on our PCs.

My favorite part is, according to the definitions agreed-upon and mentioned in a recent DSLR article, this IS malware.

This is precisely why we can't believe the industry line that DRM is harmless and for our own good. Microsoft and the TPM group are always saying, "trust us, this is about empowering YOU."

Funny that this time it was someone so big as Sony. Usually you see smaller companies trying to get away with rediculous intrusions like this (a la Blizzard Entertainment, who was mostly let off the hook in these forums.)

You have to connect a ground wire to the foil in order to drain the current that the signals create. Otherwise the foil acts as an antenna.
