Music Industry Asking For Radio To Pay For Play

[Sid Schweiger]

>> The hue & cry over this resulted in Sony/BMG discontinuing the
practice, although there are an untold number of CDs in the retail chain
that still contain this little bugger.<<

Sony has issued a recall of all unsold retail product which contains
the software.

>>Sony has supplied a program that will remove the offending
software.<<

...which only works some of the time, and does nothing to plug the
enormous security hole that the software opens up when it installs.

Who, in some corporate executive suite, decided that treating the
customers as enemies was sound business practice???
