jenepherreIf you play audio CDs in your computer's CD drive, you need to read this. And boycott Sony. And complain to Sony (sonymusiconline@sonymusic.com).
This isn't just about their CDs being copy-protected, making them difficult or impossible to rip to mp3 format and load onto your iPod. Just playing one of their CDs in your computer will - without your OK - install malicious files onto your system. Files that - if you try to remove them - can disable your CD drive. And all of this is apparently because Sony hates Apple. Fucking asshats.

Should I make some Boycott Sony graphics?
