[QUOTE="The_Warlock, post: 2710145, member: 21215"] If there are places on the net that I trust, nearly implicitly, it's places like Sysinternals. I had heard about this first actually through the article about it being used to hide cheats in World of Warcraft. Then I followed some links from other sites, saw the other blogs and sysinternals breakdown of what had been found. I am the head of IT at the small company I work for. I double checked the sources I could find. And promptly saved every blog from Sysinternals on the subject for the step by step methods he used, and informed everyone in my company that Sony BMG audio discs were not allowed to be played in any computer. I also told them to check any discs they had been playing with me so I could verify if any were content protected. Why? Because apparently it's not new. There's a good chance this has been rolled out over the last 5 to 7 MONTHS. If it doesnt say Compact Disc, I am not buying it. If it says Sony, I am not buying it. Welcome to another example of paranoid protection that makes things bad for the honest people. And yes, that is the stupidest thing to say...but it's that kind of arrogant posturing that usually gets people riled up and angry, so hopefully Sony reps will keep sticking their feet in their mouths down to about thigh level, which will hopefully get the consumers buzzing like hornets. Oy...it's stuff like this that makes me hate people. [/QUOTE]
