Sony music CD installs spyware

[Oddysey]

This will be sued out of existance.

elshaddai has given only a part of the total picture. In effect, Sony has violated at least one body of 'anti-trespass' law here in the US, and it looks like a few more over in the EU. Here's the link to the original article: http://www.sysinternals.com/blog/2005/10...ights.html

Of great interest, at least to me, was the recent court case in Chicago which found that this very act (by another company) was "a direct invasion of privacy in the home" of the user. Said violater lost, big time - Sony will lose even bigger time when enough complainants engage a lawyer that specializes in class-action tort suits.
