Sony DRM: Singing the Blues
posted by Daniel Solove
Talk about a backfire. A brief update on a story I previously blogged about a week ago. Sony attempted to install hidden DRM software into the computers of its CD users. A blogger criticized the software, setting off a firestorm of attention that has had Sony reeling ever since. The latest news:
1. Hackers and virus makers have been exploiting the Sony software as a vulnerability because it’s hidden.
2. Sony has stopped using the software.
3. Microsoft will update Windows to delete the Sony software.

Once the darknet hits, music companies will be left with one option–more extreme DRM protections.

Fortunately, this will grow the Darknet even more.
