Since you hate Sony, I thought this might fuel your hate a bit more, you can do a search and type in Sony +DRM. (This relates to Malware Sony put onto their music CD's and installed on peoples computers without their knowledge)
Here's an exert from the guy who broke the story about a month ago, Sony are now facing a number of class action lawsuits, and I for one will NEVER buy a Sony product again and prior to this I rated them highly.
Quote: Not only had Sony put software on my system that uses techniques commonly used by malware to mask its presence, the software is poorly written and provides no means for uninstall. Worse, most users that stumble across the cloaked files with a RKR scan will cripple their computer if they attempt the obvious step of deleting the cloaked files.
By the by , it also slowed down the performance of peoples computers, opened them up to virus attacks and phoned home evey time you put a CD in your computer. Scumbags.
