Starkdog, you make a very good point. I wonder how long until Uncle Bill decides this is the way for the XBox to finally bury the Playstation. If he owns the company, he can just scrap the whole thing. LOL. Seriously though, I would be curious to hear what MS has to say about this. If nothing else, it is a great chance to make some PR. The only downside is it once again shows how an MS system is vulnerable to things like this. Anyway, I posted this originally not for those who understand the topic, but for those who don't. For those who do understand, I ask that you spread the word to others who don't understand. The biggest problem, and most likely the reason Sony attempted it, is lack of knowledge by the majority of users. Most people would just see the tiny writing on the CD cover that tells them to pop in the CD for some bonus content, and it would install silently. I don't disagree with the record companies that they have a right to protect their property, however, the same applies to users. We have a right to protect our property. It is wholly disgusting that Sony was able to even get this far. I want to see the government actually step in. This should fall under the umbrella of cyberterrorism. I don't give a crap how big Sony is. If you choose to do business to the detriment of your customers, you should be punished. Thanks to everyone who has gotten involved today with this thing. It does make a difference!
