I was kinda shocked when I heard about this . For those don't wanna check, the link talks about the trojan SONY put on their CDs as an anticopy system... believe it.
SONY, guys: that's not the way. It's been talked a lot about the ideas to avoid piracy or file sharing thru the net (truly two different thangs).
The ONLY way is create the CDs more attractive than get them free on the web or P2P without moving a single finger from your sofa... and that could be solved doing different things like doing cool booklets, including material (pics, videos and songs) that deserve the pain have them on the original format, LOWER PRICES (think about the margin you have and talk later, dudes), etc...
I know that there is no lotz o'freaks like me that have the same album on vynil, CD, Digipack, etc... because it's stupid to the bone waste your bucks. Think about my face when I get an album, paying as IMPORT, and a month later, the same album goes out including three more songs with a different cover... things like that make people feel like they were ripped off and so...
And of course, the solution is not putting malware, trojan, viral deals or WTF you want to put into CDs as an anticopy. NO. Letting apart that anyone has the right to make a backup copy of its OWN CD (remember we have paid it), you're doing something unconstitutional.
You bet and you loose... because anytime that I see a SONY CD on the shelves, I'll be fearful to buy it. And I won't be the only one.
Y'know wha'? Crucify the clever guy (really a nerd) that dropped that idea...
Let there be rock!!!!
