I've already had to remove this crap off machines, and let me tell you, its a PITA. I'm just absolutely astounded that they would screw with your system for buying the product! Instead of preventing copy protection, it encourages piracy.

| I get my music from Usenet. If i like something i buy it. If i don't like something it gets deleted.
I'm using Linux so i don't get the option to use Itunes or the other Monthly Programs.
The Monopoly has a firm hold doesn't anyone understand or see this?

Instead of preventing copy protection, it encourages piracy. One word: StarForce. It too introduced some intrusive
DRM that far from discouraging copyright infringement,
made people want to go download a warez copy of the
game that was clean.

| AT least Starforce is removable... I have the Removal Tool. It does remove the crap.
Sony BMG didn't step in it, they fell face first in it!

I found a new place locally, it's called Looney Tunes, and it has many artists that I like there. Every now and then, they have unsigned bands play in the store.  |

If any of you have NERO 6 I encourage you to go out and buy the CDs that have this copy protection on it, and make exact-copies of the disc. Nero 6 Ultra Edition will still make a playable disc with their crap exactly as their disc has it. Then return the opened CDs with a legitimate reason that they would not work. And get free music while ripping off only the SONY people who did this. |
