I still can't believe Sony is still in business. Who's dumb enough to keep buying stuff from a company that booby-trapped their own CDs?
Sorry but the booby-trapped their CDs? Could you explain further? I was not able to find out what you meant with a quick google search.
Back in the mid 00's their CDs had a rootkit on them that installed software to interfere with CD Copying apparently also some of them phoned home with your listening habits. Stuff was hard if not impossible to remove, used system resources, crashed computers and was a security hole, just plain shity
Thx a lot!
Holy shit thats dystopian shit.
IIRC, it became widely known that Sony was doing this after malware exploiting it became widespread enough to be noticed.
