Boycott Sony Music

In case you haven't heard, Sony really screwed the pooch by trying to hide
some malicous anti-copying software on several of their CDs. See
http://www.eff.org/deeplinks/archives/004144.php for more exact info.

I'd like to add my two cents to this as well:

Don't buy my music CDs from Sony - you could end up creating some major
problems with your computer if you try and play it there - and open yourself
up to exploitation by hackers.

We also need to teach these big companies that treating the average consumer
like a common thief will hurt them more than the lost sales of a pirated CD.
I do not condone the illegal copying and sharing of music, however, I do
feel I have a right to buy a CD and then distribute it to my various MP3
players and CD players in my cars and house, and/or create custom mix CDs.
This malicous anti-piracy software Sony hid on their CDs not only prevents
me from doing that, it opens up a potential security breach in my computer.
Now how ethical is that?
