Re: The best part...

Hmmm.... The DMCA forbids technology that can be used to bypass copyright protection measures. Sony's DRM software can be used to bypass copyright protection measures (Sony's DRM software). Does this mean that Sony's DRM is illegal via the DMCA?

EDIT: Looks like the "DRM used to bypass itself" has been retracted. Oh well, it was nice while it lasted to think of DRM making itself illegal under the DMCA.

...is pointed out in the front page /. write up. If you rename your ripping program so that it starts with $sys$, the DRM crap can't detect it. So you essentially circumvent their DRM software by using their DRM software.
That is so funny. Their own program making copying easier instead of stopping it.

And on another note the PATCH Sony provided is now causing crashes on some PC's: »www.techworld.com/security/news/···sID=4733
