I read about this eariler, the system uses something called a rootkit to hide itself. So some anti-virus/antispyware won't remove it or even see it. Sony have released a tool to remove it, but I agree it's well out of order. In the UK it might even be an offence under the misuse of computers act. Unauthorised modification of computer material and the deliberate intent to impair the operation of a computer are all offences in this act. But it's a big record company thats deemed as OK. Doing stuff like this, sueing kids and even recently threatening a grandfather for allowing a kid to d/load films just shows much copyright law needs to change. I agree with the fixer and destro75, but a boycott doesn't work. So I reserve the right to, and do, remove the CRM from any products I've bought.

Pinky - you left the lens cap of your mind on again.
